Understanding Bug Backlogs

Managing a backlog of unresolved bugs can often feel overwhelming, particularly when the significance of each item is unclear. Rather than attempting to prioritize every single bug, a more effective strategy involves recognizing the limited capacity to address these issues within a defined timeframe, such as a sprint. By selecting a small number of critical bugs to focus on—for instance, five items that are believed to deliver the most value—teams can ensure that important work is not overshadowed by an extensive list of unresolved tasks. This approach reframes the management of bugs by creating timelines and commitments rather than merely sorting or quarantining issues.
