Finally, the Solution For a Bug Free Backlog
This morning, I found a little bug in our open source Ruby on Rails app code-named Hibou that we developped as team sosoft during Codapalooza.
Business as usual right ? I fired up Jira and added a new issue in our GreenHopper backlog. Done. I went back to my mails.
Eric then came over and we had a talk. He suggested that I not only remove the bug from our backlog, but that we remove the bug issue type entirely from our project.
I was a bit dumbfounded. More talk ensued.
Guess what ? A few minutes later, he had me convinced and we did remove bugs entirely from our backlog. Wondering why we did this ? Wondering how we will keep track of the bugs found by our users ? Wondering how we will keep track of the bugs being fixed ? You think we’re loonies ?
Well I don’t feel like giving away all the answers now. If you guys are interested, let’s continue this conversation and see where we end up.
