I prioritize user-centricity in resolving bug severity debates. We simulate real-world usage to gauge the true impact. Then, we involve cross-functional teams for diverse insights, ensuring a balanced view. Escalation is a last resort—consensus through data and collaboration is key.

?? When opinions clash over bug severity, the best approach is to rely on objective criteria and open communication. Start by evaluating the bug's impact on core functionality and user experience—does it affect key features or create potential security risks? Use data to support your case, whether from user reports, past incidents, or performance metrics. Encourage a collaborative discussion with your team, where everyone presents their viewpoint, focusing on the business impact. If consensus can’t be reached, escalate the decision to a higher authority with all the facts. Balancing perspectives with data ensures informed decisions. ????

When faced with conflicting opinions on bug severity, start by gathering detailed information on the bug's impact from all parties involved. Facilitate an open discussion to understand each viewpoint and focus on the bug’s effect on user experience and functionality. Use objective data, like logs or metrics, to support decision-making. Collaborate with the dev and product teams to align on business priorities and risks. Ensure the final decision balances both technical and user-facing concerns. Keep communication transparent to avoid misunderstandings and ensure all voices are heard.

When faced with conflicting opinions on bug severity, start by referencing project requirements and user expectations. Evaluate the bug’s impact—does it block key functionality or affect critical features? Use metrics like frequency, visibility, and risk to assess severity objectively. Facilitate an open discussion between teams (QA, dev, product) to ensure all viewpoints are considered. If there’s still disagreement, propose a compromise—agree to fix it in an early sprint or reclassify based on agreed criteria. Focus on the business goals to align everyone’s perspective.

- Access the impact of the bug that it can create on the customer's side and also evaluate the likelihood of the scenario happening that can be created by this issue. If both the impact and likelihood are on the higher side, then give it the topmost priority to fix the issue. - Do check with both the developers and QA about the perspective of the bug from their side and then come to a common conclusion about the bug.
