Significance
The term “bug” carries significant weight in software development, with teams interpreting it variably based on their workflow. It becomes a quality indicator, leading some teams to establish rigid definitions (aka “Definition of Bug”) akin to “Definition of Done” or “Definition of Ready.” However, fixating on resolving every bug might deviate from delivering customer value. Navigating how to approach bugs compared to other tasks poses a challenge agile teams face. Understanding its nuances is vital for teams aiming to strike a balance between perfection and delivering tangible value.
