Triage is the process of prioritizing tasks, cases, or patients based on urgency and severity, most commonly associated with emergency medicine where nurses and doctors quickly assess patients to determine who needs immediate care. The concept has expanded beyond healthcare into fields like IT support, customer service, and software bug tracking, where teams rank issues by impact and urgency. Effective triage requires quick judgment, clear criteria, and the ability to allocate limited resources efficiently.
