Hi,
I am not sure where you got the idea that target ship date will take
priority over everything else.
We will slip the target FCS date if we find that we have bugs that
compromise quality and need to be fixed.
We will however continue to set priorities for all bugs based on
functional requirments, resources and other business/marketing decisions.
Naturally, some of the bugs will not be fixed based on their priority.
But that does not mean that we will sacrifice overall quality of the
product.
If you feel that some bug/issue has been incorrectly prioritized :
- Please send us e-mail, we will be happy to help with the bug
OR
- Re-prioritize the bug with the appropriate justification - we will
re-evaluate that
Best Regards,
-Dhiru
