View summed weights of issues in board column

Description

  • At the top of each column in a board, indicate the cumulative issue weight of all the issues in that column.
  • The cumulative issue weight should be updated in real-time as users drag issues across columns.
  • The information should be dynamic based on the filter on the board and the saved config of the board. If those change, these numbers should change in real-time.
  • This applies to both label lists and assignee lists (and in the future, should account for milestone lists).

Original customer request

I want to see how much work is in the To Do list (either by issue weight or estimated time) so I can see if the selected work fits in a specified timeframe. Is this possible in Gitlab? If not I'm afraid we have to switch back to JIRA.

Effectively, we allow you to set up a sprint with a burndown chart:

And we also support time tracking/estimation:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/time_tracking.html

But it looks like we are missing a feature to account for time in that planning process. I think this falls under Analytics and is in your court @jramsay? Lemme know if I'm off base.
