## Pain

* Users must go to GitLab and exhaustively/manually find the code related to the specification, which is annoying and inefficient.

* Today, OpenProject's GitLab integration only shows merge requests and issues, lacking deeper code activity visibility.End of the insertion Begin of the deletion from it).End of the deletion

End of the insertion Begin of the deletion

Today, OpenProject's GitLab integration only shows merge requests and issues. This makes code activity visible right inside the work package, so teams can follow development without leaving OpenProject.

### How?

End of the deletion * Listen to GitLab push events and link branches and their commits to the work packages they mention.

* Begin of the insertionDisplayEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion Store branches and commits with a clear relationship, so each branch showsEnd of the deletion the Begin of the deletion commits that belong to it.

# Launch and Growth

## Measures

* Reduction in time spent manually searching for code related to specifications.

* Increased ability for Project Managers, Developers, and QA to verify code status (merged, reviewed, existing PR/MR) directly within OpenProject.
