members of their teams. We could have, therefore, three Issue Boards for this case:
-**Backend**, for the backend team and their own labels and workflow
#### Scrum team
-**Frontend**, same as above, for the frontend team
-**Workflow**, for the entire process (backend > frontend > staging > production)
GitLab Issue Boards not just position issue cards in a column, but also allows them to be in multiple boards and still have meaning without the context of a particular board.
With multiple Issue Boards, each team has one board. For each sprint, you can
[associate a milestone](#board-with-a-milestone). Now you can move issues through each
part of the process. For instance: **To Do**, **Doing**, and **Done**.
### Use cases for Boards with Milestones
#### Organization of topics
From the use cases above, let's assume that you have now created a milestone per release for

#### Advanced team handover
### Use cases for Focus Mode
For example, suppose we have a UX team with an Issue Board that contains:
When you are organizing your issues through an Issue Board and want to avoid distractions,
-**To Do**
you can use the [Issue Board on Focus Mode](#focus-mode).
-**Doing**
-**Frontend**

When done with something, they move the card to **Frontend**. The Frontend team's board looks like:
-**Frontend**
-**Doing**
-**Done**
Cards finished by the UX team will automatically appear in the **Frontend** column when they're ready for them.
