Best practices to set up organizational hierarchies that scale

This post details best practices for setting up organizational hierarchies in GitLab using groups, subgroups, and projects. It explains how to leverage the inheritance model for cascading settings, permissions, and configurations. Two primary options are presented: granting permissions at the organizational subgroup level (ideal for complex structures and efficient sharing) and granting permissions at any level (suitable for smaller organizations with less complex access needs). It also provides additional configuration considerations for milestones, iterations, data management, template creation, and labels, emphasizing how these elements can be managed at different levels of the hierarchy to promote consistency and visibility.
