 Description   

A chat with John Swinbank revealed that issue priorities for HSC/LSST are mostly set by management (him), and that the Priority field is secondary.

The PFS ICS world may never have that kind of all-knowing management. Chats with Fabrice and Tamura-san suggest that adding a few more Priorities could help us self-track. Me, I'd start with adding a "Normal" Priority and making it the default. That might even be enough.

I somehow surprised we have not had Normal as priority... let me add and set it to default.
Also I think five priorities are enough for normal development.

Let me check

  • whether we can add/modify a set of priorities.
  • whether we can have a set of priorities per jira project.
Comment by shimono [ 23/Jun/17 ]
  • a set of priority is unique over the entire JIRA site
  • there was no default setting in PFS JIRA

So, added normal priority as:

  • icon of "medium"
  • color and order between major and minor
  • set as default

Ask comment/review from cloomis and rhl

I don't think 5 priorities are likely to be helpful (maybe 3?), and I don't fully understand the motivation.

How would this interact with ordering things on the backlog and using other prioritisation techniques?

Comment by cloomis [ 24/Jun/17 ]

Ordering issues on the backlog is probably the right solution. That said, I was bothered by not having a non-judgmental, normal priority, and agree with others that it is nice to be able to indicate rough importance without immediately hitting Critical or Trivial.

Comment by shimono [ 24/Jun/17 ]

I totally agree with cloomis and want to point importance of having "non-judgemental" one. What is the best number of selection was actually not in my mind, but I feel 5 is not huge...

Comment by shimono [ 02/Aug/17 ]

All, is it fine to close this ticket to have 'normal' priority with setting as default? We seem to have different opinions on how much +/- levels we should have, but do we agree to have non-judgemental 'normal'?

Comment by shimono [ 18/Apr/18 ]

no comment over a half year, closing this ticket with the current configuration.
