+Implementation issues are used break-up a large piece of work into small, discrete tasks that can
+move independently through the build workflow steps. They're typically used to populate a Feature
+Epic. Once created, an implementation issue is usually refined in order to populate and review the
+implementation plan and weight.
+Example workflow: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/threat-management/planning/diagram.html#plan
