Bug Prioritization

Overview

Here are some simple guidelines for prioritizing bugs on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is the lowest priority and 5 is the highest:

item - a software feature or behavior

5 Highest

The ticket is about a priority item, The item is broken and there’s no work around

4 High

The item is not a 'priority', it’s broken and there’s no work around

OR, The item is a priority, it's broken, but a work around exists.

3 Medium

The item is not a priority, it's broken, and a work around exists

2 Low

Priority feature is missing - something was left out of a design/implementation that is a priority for us

1 Lowest

A non-priority feature is missing
