Do you have bugs that have been open for a long time and that are low priority? Cancel them.
Make the hard decision. Either we’re going to fix it and we do it now, or we aren’t and we cancel it.
Letting that bug sit in a backlog somewhere in the hopes that someday we’ll have the time and interest to fix it is just delusional. We’ll never have time for low priority distractions, and keeping things around “just in case” is exactly that.
Most companies have hundreds, and I’ve seen systems with thousands, of bugs just like this. They’re noise that distracts us. We need more focus and clarity, not more distractions.
Fix the bugs, or accept that we won’t, and close them.
Indecision is waste.
