[Feature Idea]: Priority Tags
Background:
Currently, it is sometimes challenging to maintain an overview when the Kanban board is overflowing with stories. Then it becomes difficult to set priorities. Of course, stories can always be sorted into specific columns. However, if several stories are in-progress because work is already underway on them, it could be practical to prioritize stories with Tags.
Idea:
On each story there could be a small “+“ sign to add Tags which can be defined in the projects settings (color and name), similar to how it works in some email inboxes. Here is a rough mockup of how it could look like:
These Tags are now all related to priorities. But sometimes it might make sense to have just regular Tags to categorize stories. However, regular tags would quickly become mixed up with the priorities. In this case, how about using regular tags as above, but adding a second layer for priorities in the form of a colored outline around the whole story? Here is a rough mockup showing what Priority Outlines and Tags combined might look like:
For reference, here is the color legend:
Note: Tags and Priority Outlines could be optionally activated in the settings. Since depending on the workflow, these may not be needed or may unnecessarily clutter the UI.
What do you think? Could “Tags” and “Priority Outlines” be useful additions?
Cheers !!
