A team is using a GitLab board and wants to reduce the time it takes to move an issue from 'In Progress' to 'Done'. They suspect that work is getting stuck in the 'In Review' stage. How can the board help them confirm this?

To replace the need for any other project management documentation

To automatically assign tasks to team members based on their current workload

To make the status of work items visible to the team and stakeholders, improving transparency and workflow management

To track the exact time each team member spends on every task

A team is using a GitLab board and wants to understand the average time an issue spends in the 'In Progress' list. They have access to the board and the issue list. What is the most effective way to measure this?

Use the number of issues in 'In Progress' as a proxy for the time spent there.

Use the board to see which issues are currently in 'In Progress' and manually track how long they have been there.

Review the issue history or notes to see when each issue was moved into 'In Progress' and calculate the duration.

Look at the issue creation date and the date it was closed to estimate the time in 'In Progress'.

A remote team wants to use a GitLab board to improve transparency about what each person is working on. The team has a board with 'To Do', 'Doing', and 'Done' lists. What is the best way to make individual workloads visible?

Add a label with each team member's name to every issue they are working on.

Assign each issue to a team member and use the board's assignee filter to view issues per person.

Create a separate board for each team member and share all boards with the team.

Use the issue description to note who is working on each issue.

A software team is adopting an agile workflow and wants to use GitLab boards to limit the amount of work in progress. They want to ensure that no more than five issues are in the 'Doing' list at any time. What is the most effective way to enforce this?

Ask team members to self-monitor and not move more than five issues into 'Doing'.

Use a milestone to track the number of issues in progress and review it daily.

Add a WIP limit of 5 to the 'Doing' list in the board configuration.
