Change Category

The category of a Backlog Item applies from one release to the other. The critical categories apply for current release. In a feature release their critical category might be changed. There are three Critical Changes Categories that specifies how critical a feature is for the current upgrade.

Mandatory / Required

The Backlog item brings changes that are required in order to have a working solution.

Highly recommended / Critical

The Backlog item brings changes that either bring fixes to previous features or we consider them to be important for our customers. These do not impact the solution in a breaking manner.

Optional / Feature-level decision

The Backlog item brings functionality that is independent from other functionalities making it safe if decided to not implement it. Notice: it might be the case that in future releases features might depend on these Optional items, transforming this item into a mandatory one if you decide to make use of the feature.
