Paul Andrew has thoughts on technical debt:
A few times now I’ve been asked to define technical debt. It can be an ugly term if your role is a project manager or scrum master. But, for me, as a more technically minded person I see this debt as a very normal thing that in an agile delivery team can be managed. However, before we can manage it, I’d like to use this blog post to define it (and get my own thoughts in order).
Read the whole thing. If you want a bit more on the topic, I have a post sharing my thoughts. Reading Paul’s post, I think there’s a lot of common ground in our ways of thought on this.
