Questions of when to fix them aside - I would start to ask the question why weren't they found and fixed within the sprint that they occured? My focus is on reducing the time it takes to discover (and then fix) problems. After all if we discover a bug in the story during the sprint it is written then the PO shoudl accept it as being done. In addition early discovery will make it much easier to fix as the code is still fresh in the mind of the development team.

I'd suggest that you create a separate user story for bug fixing for many reasons: 1. You need to keep track of the time and effort invested 2. Tasks withing...

Hello, I understand your point here about 'unfair scheduling' of bugs. I don't agree though. If a bug is waiting to be fixed for a long time due to having a...
