priority - Noun:
- A thing that is regarded as more important than another.
- The fact or condition of being regarded or treated as more important.
I don't like the use of "priority" in the spec as priorities on issues can change over time.
I prefer severity as a way to label issues as this is less likely to change once it has been raised.
Secondly, the use of integers to represent priority is ok, but you lose the context to indicate what each value represents (and you might want more options like Showstopper for example).
So why not drop the need to do this:
1. This is a High priority list item.
1. This is a High priority list item.
2. This is a Normal priority list item.
And instead do this:
- (Showstopper) The house is on fire
- (High) The fire alarm is making noise
- (Medium) I can smell smoke
@nikmd23 has been talking about how ordering of priority in items is hard to read, and I like this as a compromise between readability and freedom of ordering.
Thoughts?
