Add MR review with a Product Designer to PD Onboarding template
Details
When onboarding as a Product Designer, MR reviews are daunting. Getting an instance up locally, configuring feature flags, checking out branches, and trying to mess with the complex resources GitLab has can be difficult and time-consuming if done alone. We don't have any official ramp-up to reviewing MRs as a new Product Designer, other than shadowing your UX buddy (which may or may not include MR reviews).
Solution
As part of the Product Design onboarding, it'd be beneficial to add a task to review an MR with another Product Designer. @grrbam proposed this in Slack, and after meeting with him and @ipelaez1, I realized that other PDs can benefit from this as well by troubleshooting on the spot and sharing tips throughout the review process (ultimately these would be documented in the handbook too).
