-Teams are actively prioritizing their projects, but that is not the problem. There is a very high probability that any project that a given team is working on requires the assistance of at least one other teams to accomplish the project. There are certain teams (IT, QA, Security, Webdev, Operations, etc.) that are the most commonly requested to complete a project. When these teams ask all of the people who have requested them to do something to prioritize all of their requests, they all come back at priority ones. Every team feels that their projects are most important and if all projects are important, than no projects are important.

IT, QA, Security, Webdev, Operations, etc., are commonly requested to complete a project. These teams need to prioritize all the requests from across Mozilla and typically everyone's project is a P1. This is a way to prioritize at a higher level.
