Managing Software Debt Workshop
Based on the book by Chris Sterling with contributions from Brent Barton, Managing Software Debt: Building for Inevitable Change, this workshop helps teams and individuals find ways to manage their own software debt. Software debt slowly creeps into software assets if left unnoticed. Fortunately, modern tools, frameworks, and software development approaches help us manage software debt effectively at a reasonable cost to implement. The workshop will show ways to identify and manage software debt in the following 5 debt areas:
- Technical Debt
- Quality Debt
- Configuration Management Debt
- Design Debt
- Platform Experience Debt
Participants should be ready to take away specific and actionable approaches to managing software debt on their real world projects.
