As part of our recent triennial goal review, we revisited our approach to technical debt—the code shortcuts, outdated patterns, or deferred maintenance that silently accumulates over time. Left unmanaged, technical debt slows teams down, increases risk, and makes future work harder.
Keeping your codebase healthy shouldn’t require stopping the presses. In our latest article, we share practical, battle-tested strategies for integrating technical debt cleanup into regular sprint planning. Learn how to manage tech debt without stalling your roadmap.
🧰 Tips include:
– Using slow periods like holidays to schedule debt work
– Planning 80–90% sprint capacity to leave room for maintenance
– Encouraging the “Boy Scout Rule” for everyday refactoring
– Post-launch debt cleanup cycles for stability
