How do you effectively track technical debt?


In your practice, how do you effectively track and manage technical debt?

Is there a specific metric, like SLOC, that you use?

How do you visually display your results to stakeholders and management?

What benefits have you seen in the process?


Solution

  • We write story cards for technical debt. They are BLACK, with big yellow warning signs on them. Get too many on the wall, and it's REAL obvious.

    Anyone who walks past can see them :)
