Overview

This reference document outlines the bug triage meeting process for assessing reported defects, determining severity versus priority, and selecting actionable next steps. It details the preparation of triage-ready bug reports, cross-functional meeting participation, five key lenses for evaluating priority, and common decision categories such as investigate, fix, defer, and duplicate. The guide assists quality assurance professionals, developers, technical leads, product owners, and operations specialists involved in defect management. It provides structured meeting agendas, practical case studies on duplicate API orders and intermittent continuous integration test failures, and verification workflows from code fix to confirmed release.
