What it's really about
The situation
Created fourteen seconds ago. Highest priority. No description, no reproduction steps, a title in capitals and a client's name. It is already assigned. To you.
Why those numbers
Eight story points and +3 against Devs, so eleven for the people who will actually take it. It costs a piece of gear when it wins: P0s always get paid for in something else.
How to play it
The bug that defines the mid-game. With no gear, a Dev has no chance before level 8 — which is where pair programming stops being an option and becomes the only one.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
