Priority types
« on: February 23, 2006, 06:21:58 am »
I believe that the priority types (low, medium and high) are hard-wired into EA. Could you make them user-defined?
Thanks

Our company uses the MoSCow prioritisation technique for the prioritisation of Requirements, ie:
Must have
Should have
Could have
Would like to have but won't have this time around  

It is now possible to configure the General types "Constraints status type"
It would be great to be able to configure the priority in the same way.

I'll add my vote here too, with the considerations below.

It would be nice - if it is possible without breaking the 'default' behavior of EA - to be able to define custom Priority and Complexity enumerations, in much the same way we can for custom metrics.

We - and a major client group - have a need to create various metrics. EA seems to work well for these, which has been a factor for short-listing it for inclusion in the portfolio of approved products.

However, "Priority" and "Complexity" are common measures within the community (it is largely oriented towards business systems and processes) and inevitably become desirable "metrics." I'm certain that the common appearance of these metrics has driven their inclusion in EA.
No, you can't have it!

I'd add my vote here too. This is one of the recommended prioritization in the UP methodology.
