How I learned to manage technical debt without talking about it
Managing technical debt is a challenge for many organisations. The technical subject matter experts (engineering) often are unable to communicate the state of the technology to business stakeholders, leading to unsatisfactory project outcomes, unmet expectations and an erosion of trust between groups in the same organisation.
This talk outlines a number of approaches that I have applied over the years to collaborate with business and senior engineering stakeholders (the people with the money) each of them incrementally assisting with communication, and the realisation that "technical debt" is a source of "business risk" for the organisation, and engineering teams can use this to collaborate with greater clarity and success.
