# Product Intelligence review guidelines
This page includes introductory material for a
[Product Intelligence](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/growth/product-intelligence/)
review, and is specific to Product Intelligence reviews. For broader advice and
general best practices for code reviews, refer to our [code review guide](../code_review.md).
## Resources for Product Intelligence reviewers
- [Usage Ping Guide](../usage_ping.md)
- [Snowplow Guide](../snowplow.md)
- [Metrics Dictionary](metrics_dictionary.md)
## Review process
We recommend a Product Intelligence review when an application update touches
Product Intelligence files.
- Changes that touch `usage_data*` files.
- Changes to the Metrics Dictionary including files in:
- [`config/metrics`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/config/metrics).
- [`ee/config/metrics`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/ee/config/metrics).
- [`dictionary.md`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/usage_ping/dictionary.md).
- [`schema.json`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/config/metrics/schema.json).
- Changes to `tracking` files.
- Changes to Product Intelligence tooling. For example,
[`Gitlab::UsageMetricDefinitionGenerator`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/generators/gitlab/usage_metric_definition_generator.rb)
### Roles and process
The merge request **author** should:
- Decide whether a Product Intelligence review is needed.
- If a Product Intelligence review is needed, add the labels
`~product intelligence` and `~product intelligence::review pending`.
- Assign an
[engineer](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/growth/product-intelligence/engineers/-/group_members?with_inherited_permissions=exclude) from the Product Intelligence team for a review.
- Set the correct attributes in YAML metrics:
- `product_section`, `product_stage`, `product_group`, `product_category`
- Provide a clear description of the metric.
- Update the
[Metrics Dictionary](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/usage_ping/dictionary.md) if it is needed.
- Add a changelog [according to guidelines](../changelog.md).
The Product Intelligence **reviewer** should:
- Perform a first-pass review on the merge request and suggest improvements to the author.
- Approve the MR, and relabel the MR with `~"product intelligence::approved"`.
## Review workload distribution
[Danger bot](../dangerbot.md) adds the list of Product Intelligence changed files
and pings the
[`@gitlab-org/growth/product-intelligence/engineers`](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/growth/product-intelligence/engineers/-/group_members?with_inherited_permissions=exclude) group for merge requests
that are not drafts.
Any of the Product Intelligence engineers can be assigned for the Product Intelligence review.
### How to review for Product Intelligence
- Check the [metrics location](../usage_ping.md#1-naming-and-placing-the-metrics) in
the Usage Ping JSON payload.
- Add `~database` label and ask for [database review](../database_review.md) for
metrics that are based on Database.
- For tracking using Redis HLL (HyperLogLog):
- Check the Redis slot.
- Check if a [feature flag is needed](../usage_ping.md#recommendations).
- Metrics YAML definitions:
- Check the metric `description`.
- Check the metrics `key_path`.
- Check the `product_section`, `product_stage`, `product_group`, `product_category`.
Read the [stages file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/stages.yml).
- Check the file location. Consider the time frame, and if the file should be under `ee`.
- Check the tiers.
