No matter how you look at it, debt is debt! Whether we are talking about improving our on personal credit score, or talking about how to decrease technical debt, the theory behind the madness is one in the same.
Just as our creditors judge us based on our ability to earn a living compared to our outstanding judgements, we are judged on Agile projects based on our past delivery cycles and the assurance that we will be able to deliver on time in the future.
In these tough economic times, many organizations have been forced to scale back spending and in many cases as a result have scaled back the workforce. This has created a pathway of destruction for many software and hardware vendors who were put in a position where they were being asked to deliver more and more with fewer and fewer resources at their disposal. Thus, quality has severely suffered and the key stakeholders are not very happy.
In the October edition of the Agile Mentor Newsletter, we address technical debt and talk about what causes it, how to avoid it, and most importantly what we need to do to eliminate it all together. Just to put your mind at ease, the newsletter was written with the mindset of keeping things simple and looking for practical solutions regardless of the size and or Agile capability within your organization.
Take the time to explore and have a look at what you can do to decrease technical debt within your organization.
