The 90-Minute Technical Debt Prioritization Deep Dive
Technical debt slowing you down? Identify and prioritize the most painful debt items to improve velocity.
About this session
Development teams often feel the friction of legacy code and quick fixes but struggle to justify which specific issues deserve immediate attention. This session transitions the team from general frustration to a ranked backlog of technical hurdles that are actively slowing down delivery.
Why it works
The structure forces a direct comparison between the effort required for a fix and the daily pain that specific debt causes the team. By mapping these factors visually, the group identifies high-impact wins and moves past subjective opinions to reach a consensus on what will actually improve their velocity.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
