issue tracker. An Issue Board is based on its project's label structure, therefore, it
applies the same descriptive labels to indicate placement on the board, keeping
consistency throughout the entire development lifecycle.
## Use cases
An Issue Board shows you what issues your team is working on, who is assigned to each,
and where in the workflow those issues are.
You create issues, host code, perform reviews, build, test,
and deploy from one single platform. Issue Boards help you to visualize
and manage the entire process _in_ GitLab.
There are numerous use cases for Issue Boards, we will just

you go even further, as you can not only keep yourself and your project

but also allow your team members to organize their own workflow by creating
multiple Issue Boards within the same project.
