Bug Triage Matrix

Sort reported issues by severity and component area. Rows are Severity (Blocker, Major, Minor, Trivial); columns are Component (Frontend, Backend, Database, API, Mobile).

What the two axes are

Rows — Severity

  • Blocker
  • Major
  • Minor
  • Trivial

Columns — Component

  • Frontend
  • Backend
  • Database
  • API
  • Mobile

And then pivot it

The same cards answer a different question when you swap the axes. Put Component down the side and Severity across the top and the board re-sorts itself — nothing is duplicated, nothing is re-entered, and every card keeps both of its values.

Yes. Every template is free on every plan, including Free, which allows five boards per space.
