I'm curious to hear how other folks handle simple technical tasks that are not decomposed from (or linked to) any user story requiring a cross-team effort. Let's say they take anywhere from 1-8 hours worth of one developer's time. Do you enter them into the product backlog as they come to mind? Do you estimate them? Do they become part of the sprint backlog? Does the *team* consider it part of the sprint commitment / forecast even if the technical task is relevant to a single specialist's domain (and assumed to be worked by that specialist)?
