I recently started at a new company and my team has been experimenting with how to track unexpected work and bugs in their sprints. Their current approach is estimate all bugs and to create a story each sprint called "Unexpected Work," anything that pops up in the sprint goes in there as a sub-task. Since we do not estimate sub-tasks the team has assigned 13 story points (a full sprints worth) to the Unexpected Work story. My issue with this is that some sprints may have more unexpected work that others and some may have none.
