Write Bug Reports to Last

Encountered a bug report that cited a problem in “the new build.”   That is not good enough, because every week will bring a new “new build.”

Discuss Each Bug Report Only Once

Run your team in an action oriented way.  Sometimes, the same bug gets discussed over and over, and this represents a waste, particularly when they are discussed in a group.  Be mindful of this, and while it is not entirely possible in all cases, try to discuss a bug once and only once.

Not all Bugs Deserve the Same Handling

It is good to put in place standards for handling reported problem, but the process is not the same for all bugs.  Some deserve careful elaborate process, while others should just be snuffed and move on.
