JIRA priorities
This is an attempt to make the selection of the 'right' priority of a JIRA issue more transparent.
This is work in progress
The authoritative resource is on Jira - this page should be understood only as a tool.
Bugs
Start with priority 3. Then raise, or lower the priority based on the bug's severity, visibility, whether it's a regression, or whether there's a workaround.
| Default Priority | 3 | |
| Severity | -1 | Does the bug make the application unusable (crashes/hangups …)? |
| Regressions | -1 | Does the bug break code that worked in (recent) previous versions? |
| Visibility | +1/0/-1 | How many people using the feature are affected? Just a few (+1), some (0), quite many (–1) |
| Workaround | +1 | Is there an (easy) workaround? |
Other factors that might alter the priority: Compilation issues, legal issues, potential for data loss, etc.
