+# Issue Weight **[STARTER]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/76)
+> in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 8.3.
+
+When you have a lot of issues, it can be hard to get an overview.
+By adding a weight to each issue, you can get a better idea of how much time,
+value or complexity a given issue has or will cost.
+
+You can set the weight of an issue during its creation, by simply changing the
+value in the dropdown menu. You can set it to a non-negative integer
+value from 0, 1, 2, and so on. (The database stores a 4-byte value, so the
+upper bound is essentially limitless).
+You can remove weight from an issue
+as well.
+
+This value will appear on the right sidebar of an individual issue, as well as
+in the issues page next to a distinctive balance scale icon.
+
+As an added bonus, you can see the total sum of all issues on the milestone page.
