APT Project PR
Priorities
Priorities are categorized in one of 5 categories, defined by the
first digit in the PR priority (or Ranking):
Label |
Priority |
Notes |
Critical |
150 |
Cannot release without this, or we need to make a minor release ASAP |
Important |
250 |
Planned to be done for an upcoming release |
Medium |
350 |
Generally useful improvements, would avoid minor confusion, to be done as time and resources allow |
Low |
450 |
Of little or no benefit, a simple workaround exists, and it is easy to avoid confusion |
Deferred |
550 |
Level of Effort required to implement is not worth the benefit to be gained, should be addressed only as part of larger scale rework or another project |
The second priority will default to x50, which will have no
particular meaning. Developers will use additional values
from 00-49 and 51-99 to indicate how they will schedule and
manage their work for a particular release. Outside of the
Development Team, there will be no reason for users to understand
the subtleties of this numbering.
Items which are actually On Hold, where no work is
expected until outside action occurs, will be "DEFERRED"
as per the PR System, and a list will be kept on the
APT Agenda.
Critical will be reserved for truly Critical work. Most items
promised in a release will be set to Important instead.
