Code reviews create bottlenecks when not integrated with task management. GitScrum connects reviews to your workflow with dedicated columns, automatic reviewer assignment when tasks reach review stage, and WIP limits that prevent review queues from growing unbounded.

Review Assignment Strategies
| Strategy | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Round-robin | Equal distribution across team |
| Expertise-based | Match reviewer to code area |
| Pair assignment | 2 reviewers for critical code |
| Self-select | Reviewers pick from queue |
