Priority determines how quickly the defect turnaround time must be. If there are multiple defects, the priority decides which defect has to be fixed immediately versus later.
This label documents the planned timeline & urgency which is used to measure against our actual SLA on delivering ~bug fixes. This label documents the planned timeline & urgency which is used to measure against our actual SLA on delivering ~bug fixes.
