Don’t Let Technical Debt Sink Your Business [podcast]



The pandemic accelerated large-scale digital transformations for many companies. However, accelerated application growth often leads to increased technical debt.

  • What exactly do we mean by “technical debt”?
  • What are common ways this debt accrues in an organization?
  • How will your company be forced to pay back its debt in the future?
  • How does technical debt make it harder to respond to competitor threats?
