### Use cases for a single Issue Board
GitLab Workflow allows you to discuss proposals in issues, categorize them
with labels, and from there organize and prioritize them with Issue Boards.
For example, let's consider this simplified development workflow:
- You have a repository hosting your app's codebase
1. You have a repository hosting your app's codebase
and your team actively contributing to code
- Your backend team starts working a new
implementation, gathers feedback and approval, and pass it to frontend
- When frontend is complete, the new feature is deployed to staging to be tested
- When successful, it is deployed to production

If we have the labels "**backend**", "**frontend**", "**staging**", and

beginning of the development lifecycle until deployed to production
- Prioritize the issues in a list by moving them vertically
- Move issues between lists to organize them according to the labels you've set
- Add multiple issues to lists in the board by selecting one or more existing issues
