Description

Our in-house training “Managing Technical Debt” provides you with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to identify and assess technical debt in your company, sell improvements to your stakeholders and develop a clear plan for the future. We will alternate between a theory block followed by a practical application of the theory to your specific problems in order to create a good launch pad for technical debt management within your organization at the end of the training.

‍

The training starts by analyzing the negative impact that problematic code, inappropriate architecture or outdated technology has on your stakeholders.

‍

We will then evaluate these different types of technical debt based on various factors such as product or business strategy, costs, risks, architecture goals and opportunity costs.

‍

We will then develop concrete improvement proposals and measures to deal with existing technical debt. We will use Architecture Decision Records (ADR) and pattern catalogs for refactoring and dealing with legacy code to identify effective solutions for technical debt and to document and communicate these solutions together with the assessment using technical debt items.

‍

Finally, we will focus on decision making and planning where it is essential which technical debt should be repaid, rescheduled or not repaid. You will be able to create a detailed plan for the implementation of technical debt items to improve the long-term software quality and productivity of the team.

What our customers say

The workshop was a lot of fun for the participants and we were able to take away some topics, especially from the second half. It was also nice to see that we are already doing and living some things right. Personally, I'm particularly pleased about this because the correct handling of technical debt is an important topic for me as a CIO, especially when it comes to long-lasting systems.
