What it shows

  • Deliberate debt trades future refactoring for critical time-to-market wins.
  • Accidental debt stems from outdated designs, unmanaged dependencies, and drift.
  • Track debt like financial liability: allocate a fixed 15-20% capacity per sprint.

The takeaway

Prune technical debt systematically, or interest will consume all your feature velocity.
