[teampractices] how to mark tasks as high, but not immediate, priority

[Anne Gomez]

I've developed a secondary way of prioritization within the workboard for a
project that is more granular than the priority field because you can drag
the order of the tasks. For example (and needing more work):
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/404/ &
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/291/

I can also see a case where a tasks "high" priority within a specific
effort, but that effort as a whole isn't as important, so the task won't be
prioritized in workflow. I'm still noodling about what to do with those,
but may end up with additional projects/tags for those larger efforts.
