How do you ensure that the Scrum team effectively manages technical debt to maintain a sustainable development pace?
Effectively managing technical debt involves creating awareness, prioritizing efforts, and balancing the need for speed with long-term sustainability. I work closely with the team to regularly assess and identify areas of technical debt during sprint reviews and retrospectives. We collaboratively prioritize addressing technical debt alongside new feature development, ensuring a balanced approach. Additionally, I advocate for allocating dedicated time within sprint planning to focus specifically on addressing technical debt. By fostering a culture that values code quality and sustainability, we prevent the accumulation of excessive technical debt, allowing the Scrum team to maintain a consistent and sustainable development pace.
