If the board request an immediate report or immediate attention, does it make a priority issue ?
No. For anything to be a priority issue there should be business impact and business urgency. However generally the board would ask for an immediate report for the issues where there is real business priority. Therefore in most cases such request from the board, is to be mentioned as a reason for the prioritization. However just because Chairman wants a BSC installed ASAP after a seminar on the same, doesn’t make it a priority. So please follow the rule always, look for the business impact and urgency. “How to prioritize” document sent has detailed clear method to use used in this process.
