Plan

Issues: Creation and management of project issues, including tracking progress and assigning tasks.
1. Assignees:
  - Definition: Assignees are individuals or teams responsible for completing a specific issue or merge request. Assigning someone makes it clear who is responsible for taking action on that item.
  - Example: If an issue is created to implement a new feature, you might assign it to a developer who is responsible for implementing that feature. Multiple assignees are also possible if multiple people are working on the same task.
2. Epic:
  - Definition: An Epic is a way to group related issues and milestones together. It's a high-level container for managing and tracking work that spans multiple issues or user stories.
  - Example: If you have a large project that involves multiple features or user stories, you can create an Epic to encapsulate all related issues. For instance, an Epic could represent a major release or a theme of work.
3. Milestone:
  - Definition: A Milestone is a way to track and organize issues or merge requests based on time or progress. It's often used to represent a specific point in time or a goal.
  - Example: You might create a milestone for a specific release version or a sprint. Issues and merge requests can be associated with milestones to indicate their target completion or inclusion in a particular release.
4. Labels:
  - Definition: Labels are used to categorize and filter issues, merge requests, and epics. They provide a way to quickly identify the nature or status of an item.
  - Example: You can create labels like "bug," "feature," "documentation," or "priority: high." Applying labels helps in searching, filtering, and organizing work items based on their characteristics.
5. Weight:
  - Definition: Weight is a relative measure of the effort or complexity associated with an issue or merge request. It allows teams to estimate and prioritize work based on the perceived level of effort.
  - Example: You might use weights like 1, 2, 3, etc., to represent the complexity or effort required for an item. This can help in prioritizing tasks during sprint planning or backlog refinement.
6. Due Date:
  - Definition: Due Date is the date by which an issue or merge request is expected to be completed. It helps set expectations for when a particular piece of work should be finished.
  - Example: If you have a critical bug that needs to be fixed urgently, you can set a due date to ensure that the team is aware of the urgency and can prioritize accordingly.
7. Iteration:
  - Definition: Iteration is a way to organize work into time-bound cycles, often used in Agile methodologies like Scrum. It helps in planning and delivering work in manageable increments.
  - Example: In Scrum, an iteration is often referred to as a "sprint." You might plan your work in two-week sprints, and during each sprint, you aim to complete a set of prioritized issues or user stories.
Issue Boards: Visualize and manage issues on boards to facilitate project planning and collaboration.
Milestones: Plan and track project milestones, ensuring alignment with project goals and deadlines.
