Expectation: Drop everything else and work continuously to resolve. Note that the term “blocker” does not refer to blocking releases. A P0 issue is more urgent than simply blocking the next release.
Example Blocker/P0 issues:
Expectation: Continuous status updates. Critical bugs should not be unassigned. Most critical bugs should block release.
Example Critical/P1 issues:
Expectation: Most tickets fall into this priority. These can be planned and executed by anyone who is interested. No special urgency is associated.
Example Major/P2 issues
Expectation: Nice-to-have improvements.
Example Minor/P3 issues
Expectation: Nice-to-have improvements that are also very small and easy. Usually it is quicker to just fix them than to file a bug, but the Jira can be referenced by a pull request and shows up in release notes.
Example Trivial/P4 issues
