Jenkins does not readily expose the full CI pipeline progress & outcome
Originally created by @intrigeri on #17071 (Redmine)
As a reviewer of a given branch, I’m supposed to check the results of 3
different Jenkins jobs. There’s no single place that shows me this
information: I need to separately check 3 different jobs.
As a developer of a branch, I’m also supposed to check whether the full
CI pipeline passed, before I submit my MR. For this I need to track
progress of the full pipeline until it has finished running. Currently
this means having 3 extra tabs open in my web browser.
I believe that Jenkins pipelines solve this UX problem, but this would
imply to rework how we generate jobs.
GitLab CI is not affected by this problem.

: Having the results of 3 different Jenkins jobs in one single place would save developers' time.
