I have tabled the idea in our project to introduce a short bug fix sprint every third sprint. Our current sprints are three weeks.
The idea is that it will allow all dev to focus on bug fixing together, allow focus on just new stories in regular sprints and keeps a regular focus on reducing tech debt.
Bug fixes will be grouped into relevant stories and prioritised. Emphasis is not on sizing before the sprint as devs struggle to size bug fixes without getting stuck in to understand the nature of the defect.
Has anyone tried this or have any feedback on how they think this might work?
Cheers,
Kevin.
