Some may fall into this category because of management directives, important job requirements, significant deadlines or opportunities for success or advancement. • Priority B – “Should Do” – these are the items of medium value. Items in this category may contribute to improved performance but are not essential or do not have critical deadlines. • Priority C – “Nice to Do” – this is the lowest value category.
