Imperial OilImperial Oil Extends GitLab Issues Across Continuous Delivery
Imperial Oil, an energy organization in Canada, uses GitLab Issues from GitLab to support continuous delivery for engineering teams.
Shared GitLab Issues workspaces help Imperial Oil keep continuous delivery honest across teams.
“Inside Imperial Oil, continuous delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file.”
“Engineering teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Continuous delivery stays visible to adjacent teams through GitLab Issues |
| Capability | Engineering teams work from the same GitLab Issues record for build and deploy |
| Capability | Build and deploy can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Inside Imperial Oil, continuous delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in energy groups working out of Canada. Engineering teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Imperial Oil uses GitLab Issues from GitLab as the working layer for build and deploy. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. The practical change is simple: continuous delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Imperial Oil gets from GitLab is a durable place to run continuous delivery and a way for engineering teams to see the same build and deploy at the same time.
