- 4. But sometimes delivery feels slow, even stagnant. CC BY 2.0 http://www.flickr.com/photos/usfwspacific/6121377305/
- 5. And we hope it doesn’t feel like this!
- 6. Technical Debt A useful metaphor similar to financial debt “Interest” is incurred in the form of costlier development effort Technical Debt can be paid down through refactoring the implementation Unlike monetary debt, Technical Debt is difficult to quantify

- 20. The goal is to complete as many feature points at the end of 5 iterations. Go!
- 21. The goal is to complete as many feature points at the end of 5 iterations. Stop!
- 23. Debrief So how did it go? What strategy did your team use to mix features and debt? Is it realistic?
- 26. Tools and Techniques Use tools like SonarQube to help find and measure tech debt Ask the team Track defects by location in the code Make sure the team feels empowered to fix debt issues every day
- 28. Need to invest time, team needs slack
- 29. Boy Scout slide Incrementally make your code better
- 30. Key’s to Prioritizing Technical Debt Have a Clear Definition of Done - Acceptance Criteria Articulate Business Value Work Incrementally - Breakdown Items Make Visible - Add to the Backlog Prioritize/ Allocate Time

- Couple questions? Who is working with software development teams? Who is employing Agile Methods? Who knows what Technical Debt is? Who is using Scrum? Who is using Kanban? Who has heard of Kanban before? Give aways at the end. Let them choose which class they want a 50% discount on. Random person and who tweets

- We’re used to seeing and investing in Features and Bugs, but there are other investments needed too. The Invisible side includes tech debt and architecture, but can also include a lot of the “ilities” that user’s don’t know they need until they are not there. http://pkruchten.wordpress.com/
- Questions: Which type of debt is the most prevalent? Are there other types of debt?
