How can you ensure that production bugs are taken up on priority with the development team and how do you keep a track of the same?
I’d like to focus on four ways software teams can adapt current agile practices to make bug resolution easier and faster.
- Allocate time in sprints for fixing errors and prevent bug overwhelm.
- Improve communication between support and dev teams to keep customer relations strong.
How do you manage defect backlog?
Nine Common Strategies for Managing a Growing Defect Backlog
- Do nothing.
- Filter out the noise.
- Stop logging low impact defects.
- Close off low impact defects.
- Prune the backlog.
- Batch the defects.
- Blitz the defects.
- Fix some every sprint.
How do you deal with last minute bugs?
Explain the situation to client and ask some more time to fix the bug….Your options include:
- Hide the bug and hope that the customer does not find it before you can deliver a fix.
- Delay the delivery until the bug is fixed.
- Talk to the customer about the bug and let them decide how they want to proceed.
What to do when you have a bug in sprint?
What to do. Create a new backlog item and put it in the product backlog. After that the bug is planned for future iterations just like any other backlog item. When to apply. Sometimes, while still being critical, the bug might not be critical enough for you to fix it right away.
How to start planning for a new Sprint?
Lastly, you can start planning a new sprint with one click using the Sprint planning button in the sidebar. Simply name your new sprint, set the start date, and drag freshly groomed backlog issues into it.
How are story points used in sprint planning?
Story points will show up on your Agile board and can even be automatically applied to only tasks associated with sprints (by selecting a specific “tracker” to use story points). With a properly groomed product backlog it’s time to actually start planning your next sprint.
What should be included in a sprint checklist?
This including a proper description, priority, status, estimated time, and even acceptance criteria. One tip from the team at Software AG is to use checklists for acceptance criteria. This way, during a sprint review meeting, the customer or product owner themselves can tick off the criteria.
