Task Prioritization

Domain: Software Engineering

🎯 Motivation

Deciding which tasks are most important. Urgent vs important, impact vs effort.

📋 Concrete Example

Prioritization: Fix security bug (urgent + important) = do now. New feature (important, not urgent) = next sprint. Change button color (not important) = maybe never. Focus on high-impact tasks.

🔗 Analogy

Task prioritization is like triage in an emergency room - the most critical patients (urgent + important) are seen first. Minor issues wait. Prioritization ensures the most important work gets done first.
