3.5.2. Importance

Importance

When it comes time to plan what needs to be done, the most important stories and tasks should normally be handled first. To aid in selecting the most important items, each issue can be ranked by importance. Five levels of importance are available.

Critical
Required
Wanted
Would be nice
Maybe

While a short description is given for each level of importance, the description is just a basic guide reminder. It is really up to each individual team or organization to decide how to best utilize ranking items by importance.
