+## Overview
+
 The GitLab Issue Board is a software project management tool used to plan,
 organize, and visualize a workflow for a feature or product release.
 It can be used as a [Kanban] or a [Scrum] board.
 
-![GitLab Issue Board](img/issue_board.png)
+It provides perfect pairing between issue tracking and project management,
+keeping everything in the same place, so that you don't need to jump
+between different platforms to organize your workflow.
 
-## Overview
+With GitLab Issue Boards, you organize your issues in lists that correspond to
+their assigned labels, visualizing issues designed as cards throughout that lists.
+
+You define your process and GitLab organizes it for you. You add your labels
+then create the corresponding list to pull in your existing issues. When
+you're ready, you can drag and drop your issue cards from one step to the next.

+
+GitLab Issue Boards are available on GitLab Core and GitLab.com Free, but some
+advanced functionalities are only present in higher tiers: GitLab.com Bronze,
+Silver, or Gold, or GitLab self-managed Starter, Premium, and Ultimate, as described
+on the following sections.
+
+For a collection of [features per tier](#summary-of-features-per-tier), check the summary below.
+
+### Multiple Issue Boards **[STARTER]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Enterprise Edition 8.13](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/10/22/gitlab-8-13-released/#multiple-issue-boards-ee).
+
+Multiple Issue Boards, as the name suggests, allow for more than one Issue Board
+for a given project or group. This is great for large projects with more than one team
+or in situations where a repository is used to host the code of multiple
+products.
+
+Clicking on the current board name in the upper left corner will reveal a
+menu from where you can create another Issue Board and rename or delete the
+existing one.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+The Multiple Issue Boards feature is available for
+**projects in GitLab Starter Edition** and for **groups in GitLab Premium Edition**.
+
+![Multiple Issue Boards](img/issue_boards_multiple.png)
+
+### Configurable Issue Boards **[STARTER]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Starter Edition 10.2](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/11/22/gitlab-10-2-released/#issue-boards-configuration).
+
+An Issue Board can be associated with a GitLab [Milestone](milestones/index.md#milestones),
+[Labels](labels.md), Assignee and Weight
+which will automatically filter the Board issues according to these fields.
+This allows you to create unique boards according to your team's need.
+
+![Create scoped board](img/issue_board_creation.png)
+
+You can define the scope of your board when creating it or by clicking on the "Edit board" button. Once a milestone, assignee or weight is assigned to an Issue Board, you will no longer be able to filter
+through these in the search bar. In order to do that, you need to remove the desired scope (e.g. milestone, assignee or weight) from the Issue Board.
+
+![Edit board configuration](img/issue_board_edit_button.png)
+
+If you don't have editing permission in a board, you're still able to see the configuration by clicking on "View scope".
+
+![Viewing board configuration](img/issue_board_view_scope.png)
+
+### Focus mode **[STARTER]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Starter 9.1](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/04/22/gitlab-9-1-released/#issue-boards-focus-mode-ees-eep).
+
+Click the button at the top right to toggle focus mode on and off. In focus mode, the navigation UI is hidden, allowing you to focus on issues in the board.
+
+![Board focus mode](img/issue_board_focus_mode.gif)
+
+### Sum of Issue Weights **[STARTER]**
+
+The top of each list indicates the sum of issue weights for the issues that
+belong to that list. This is useful when using boards for capacity allocation,
+especially in combination with [assignee lists](#assignee-lists).
+
+![Issue Board summed weights](img/issue_board_summed_weights.png)
+
+### Group Issue Boards **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Premium 10.0](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/09/22/gitlab-10-0-released/#group-issue-boards).
+
+Accessible at the group navigation level, a group issue board offers the same features as a project-level board,
+but it can display issues from all projects in that
+group and its descendant subgroups. Similarly, you can only filter by group labels for these
+boards. When updating milestones and labels for an issue through the sidebar update mechanism, again only
+group-level objects are available.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Multiple group issue boards were originally introduced in [GitLab 10.0 Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/09/22/gitlab-10-0-released/#group-issue-boards) and
+one group issue board per group was made available in GitLab 10.6 Core. 
+
+![Group issue board](img/group_issue_board.png)
+
+### Assignee lists **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/5784) in GitLab 11.0 Premium.
+
+Like a regular list that shows all issues that have the list label, you can add
+an assignee list that shows all issues assigned to the given user.
+You can have a board with both label lists and assignee lists. To add an
+assignee list:
+
+1. Click **Add list**.
+1. Select the **Assignee list** tab.
+1. Search and click on the user you want to add as an assignee.
+
+Now that the assignee list is added, you can assign or unassign issues to that user
+by [dragging issues](#dragging-issues-between-lists) to and/or from an assignee list.
+To remove an assignee list, just as with a label list, click the trash icon.
+
+![Assignee lists](img/issue_board_assignee_lists.png)
+
+### Milestone lists **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/6469) in GitLab 11.2 Premium.
+
+As of 11.2, you're also able to create lists of a milestone. As the name states,
+these are lists that filter issues by the assigned milestone, giving you more
+freedom and visibility on the Issue Board. To do so:
+
+1. Click **Add list**.
+1. Select the **Milestone** tab.
+1. Search and click on the milestone.
+
+Similar to the assignee lists, you're now able to [drag issues](#dragging-issues-between-lists)
+to and/or from a milestone list to manipulate the milestone of the dragged issues.
+As on another list types, click on the trash icon to remove it.
+
+![Milestone lists](img/issue_board_milestone_lists.png)
+
+### Summary of features per tier
+
+Different issue board features are available in different [GitLab tiers](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), as shown in the following table:

+| Starter / Bronze  | Multiple                       | 1                            | Yes                       | No             |
