A Recipe for Budget Driven Bug Fixing

Our team at the guardian is really getting into the spirit of being budget-driven, this is the recipe we are using roll bugs into everyday development:

Take the number of bugs to be completed in an iteration.
Divide by the number of stories to be completed in an iteration.
This number is your Bug Debt.
You must fix the number of bugs denoted by your bug debt in order to commence a story.

mmm... the sweet taste of programming new features juxtaposed with the sour taste of humble pie
