Everywhere I've ever been,
If it's lower than "High" or "2", it's as good as "backlog" :)
(There can never be a priority "1" and seldom "Highest", never "Blocker", otherwise the CEO gets a text or something.)
Scrum Master: "Do we really have to make it a blocker?"
Me: "Uh yeah. It's blocking these three other tasks."
Scrum Master: "But is it really?"
Me: "Yes."
Scrum Master: "Let's just leave it on in development and we can review the progress tomorrow."
Me: "That's what you said yesterday."
Scrum Master: "Alright guys. I'm going to give you back five minutes of your time today."
Holy shit that’s too real. I come here to get away from work!
Don't forget breaking everything up into ever-smaller tasks just so that something, anything, can be closed every day. 😂 Because the process matters, not the work.
At every company I've worked at there were basically 3 priority levels - normal, stuff the client says is urgent, and the stuff that's actually urgent. "We'll fix it later" is basically for the week in December that everyone's on vacation and the juniors have nothing to do.
Lol, I love that week. Feels so productive working on low priority shit that's been around forever
Refactoring that parser you did for the internal DSL in 2011.
