Is there anyway to make issue boards the default on a per project basis so accessing them isn't a two step process?

+1 this would be really nice. Currently we can choose between "latest activity" or "browse files". Adding an option for "issue board" (and "list of issues") would be great.

My non-tech colleagues get pretty lost when they go to the project's home page and see either files or a list of commits.

So as landing page? That is an interesting idea. I've created an issue. Would love to get your thoughts there: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/38954

Thank you! I will follow/comment on the issue.

You should be able to access them directly today by hovering over the navigation item on the left for issues and selecting board there.

Or do you mean as a landing page for the project (I see a comment below here that clearly indicates that, will follow up on this, there)?

That would be two actions hover + click. I'd like to be able to just click "Issues" and have the option to make it the issue list or the issue board.
