⚓️⚓️❤️❤️ My kingdom for a way to rank issues #75

Closed hannahkane closed 9 years ago

hannahkane commented 9 years ago

I am regularly wanting a way to say "issue x is more important than issue y which is more important than issue z."

This would be useful both in terms of planning/loading heartbeats, and for engineers/designers to determine what to work on next within a heartbeat.

A thing I've used in the past is to add unicode markers to the issue names. Doesn't help w/ sorting inside of Github, as Github doesn't let you sort by name, but communicating things like user value and "small/medium/large" can be done with things like emojis (hearts for user value, anchors for 'weight'):

I like the emoji title idea. I use labels (critical > bug > feature > enhancement) within the active milestone to help prioritize, but it's certainly not as helpful as an ordered list.

hannahkane commented 9 years ago

The emoji idea is nice. How do I add emojis to titles? Am definitely making good use of labels, too.

Thanks!

hannahkane commented 9 years ago

Oh, like that.

@hannahkane can we close this?

hannahkane commented 9 years ago

Hmm...sure. I mean, I still want a way to order github issues, but I don't think I'm going to get one. :)

cassiemc commented 9 years ago

@hannahkane I thought this was solved by the hack above but if not, feel free to leave it open!

(I don't think this repo has been triaged in quite some time and I am attempting to assess how it's working for us by going through old bugs)

hannahkane commented 9 years ago

The hack allows us to indicate things like "user value" and "weight," as David mentioned above, but doesn't solve the original problem of wanting to literally order issues. e.g. issue x is more important than issue y. Github doesn't seem to support that, so I'll keep this closed.
