Hi Haleh, One way, I could think as a solution to this issue is to re-define the definitions of the existing priority levels in the JIRA system. An issue has a priority level which indicates its importance.
The currently defined priorities are shown below. *Blocker* Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run *Critical* Crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak. *Major* Major loss of function. *Minor* Minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present. *Trivial* Cosmetic problem like misspelt words or misaligned text. I believe, re-defining what this priority level means for a release as shown below would help. *Blocker* Release will not be completed until issue is resolved. *Critical * Issue will most likely be resolved for release. *Major* Issue should be resolved for release. *Minor* Issue may be resolved for release. *Trivial* Issues that might be resolved before a release. OR another way to achive the same would be to add additional priprity levels (other the default levels) at the admistration section of the JIRA system.
