Prioritize bugs based on their impact on core functionalities and user experience. Focus on issues that could cause system crashes, data loss, or security vulnerabilities. Consider the severity and frequency of the bugs, addressing those affecting the most users first. Evaluate how each bug affects the product's business goals and key features. Collaborate with stakeholders to align on which issues are non-negotiable. Regularly review and adjust priorities as the release deadline approaches to ensure critical fixes are addressed.
