GitLab Issues is the work-tracking capability within the GitLab DevSecOps platform, used to organize epics, issues, milestones, and labels. It is part of GitLab's broader work items system, which lets teams track tasks, epics, issues, and objectives in a unified view. Issues integrate with merge requests, CI/CD pipelines, and security scanning results so planning and delivery happen in one place. GitLab as a whole is available as a cloud-hosted SaaS (GitLab.com), a self-managed installation, or a single-tenant managed deployment (GitLab Dedicated).
