To help you track the status of your issues, you can assign a status to each issue to flag work that's progressing as planned or needs attention to keep on schedule:
-`On track` (green)
-`Needs attention` (amber)
-`At risk` (red)

#### Enable issue health status
This feature comes with the `:save_issuable_health_status` feature flag disabled by default. However, in some cases
this feature is incompatible with old configuration. To turn on the feature while configuration is
migrated, ask a GitLab administrator with Rails console access to run the following command:
```ruby
Feature.enable(:save_issuable_health_status)
```
