Hello @Surya Akasam 
In jira you have lots of customfields, so you can use those to put more fields than priority to issues IN the backlog. You can configure up to 3 fields to show up in your issues in the backlog, you can for example have a select list with M(must)-S(Should)-C(Could) for example.

And have this field show up in your issues in the backlog so you know how to order them. So first you create the custom field, put in screes that are in your issues and the alter your board.

To alter the view of the issues in the backlog you have to modify the board in configuration, and then go to the screen settings of the board!!

Hi @Surya Akasam

Jira allows the adoption of various models beyond the standard priority field for prioritizing your backlog.

I have seen teams who use the Urgency/Severity model for determining how to prioritize issues in the backlog by adding 2 new custom fields with multiple options.

They then use a computation of both.
