### Issue weight
Issue weight allows us to get an idea of the amount of work required to solve
one or multiple issues. This makes it possible to schedule work more accurately.
You are encouraged to set the weight of any issue. Following the guidelines
below will make it easy to manage this, without unnecessary overhead.
1.
Set weight for any issue at the earliest possible convenience
1.
If you don't agree with a set weight, discuss with other developers until
consensus is reached about the weight
1.
Issue weights are an abstract measurement of complexity of the issue. Do not
relate issue weight directly to time. This is called
[
anchoring
](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring
)
and something you want to avoid.
1.
Something that has a weight of 1 (or no weight) is really small and simple.
Something that is 9 is rewriting a large fundamental part of GitLab,
which might lead to many hard problems to solve. Changing some text in GitLab
is probably 1, adding a new Git Hook maybe 4 or 5, big features 7-9.
1.
If something is very large, it should probably be split up in multiple
issues or chunks. You can simply not set the weight of a parent issue and set
weights to children issues.
