)
, available only in
[
GitLab
Enterprise Edition
](
https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/
)
, your workflow gets
empowered with the ability to create multiple boards per project.
## Use-cases
GitLab Workflow allows you to discuss proposals in issues, categorize them
with labels, and and from there organize and prioritize them in Issue Boards.
-
For example, let's consider this simplified development workflow:
you have a repository hosting your app's codebase
and your team actively contributing to code. Your backend team starts working a new
implementation, gathers feedback and approval, and pass it to frontend.
From there, when frontend is complete, the new feature
is deployed to staging to be tested. When successful, it goes to production. If we have
the labels "backend", "frontend", "staging", and "production", and an Issue Board with
a list for each, we can:
-
Visualize the entire flow of implementations since the
beginning of the dev lifecycle until deployed to production
-
Prioritize the issues in a list by moving them vertically
-
Move issues between lists to organize them according to the labels you've set
To enhance the workflow exemplified above, with

)
,
each team (frontend and backend) can have their own boards to organize their flow among the
members of their teams. For that, we could have, therefore, three Issue Boards for this case:
-
**Backend**
, for the backend team and their own labels and workflow
-
**Frontend**
, same as above, for the frontend team
-
**Deployment**
, for the entire process (backend > frontend > staging > production)
