Enum IssueImportance

Namespace

Quilt4Net.Toolkit.Features.Issue

Assembly

Quilt4Net.Toolkit.dll

How much an issue matters, paired with IssueEffort to give the house ordering rule: importance first, then effort ascending — highest impact for least work.

[JsonConverter(typeof(JsonStringEnumConverter))]
public enum IssueImportance

Fields

Critical = 0

Something is broken or blocked now, and it outranks everything else.

Important = 1

Worth doing, and worth planning around.

Nice = 2

Wanted, but nothing suffers while it waits.

Remarks

The three values are the backlog's own vocabulary rather than a new scale, so an issue and a backlog row can be compared without translating between them.

Importance is deliberately nullable on an issue. An ungraded issue means nobody has decided yet, which is worth seeing; defaulting it to Nice would assert a judgement no one made and hide the ones still needing triage.
