In this 2020 #ProductTank San Francisco talk, Asa Schachar, then Engineering Manager at Optimizely, offers advice on how to deal with technical debt - the non-product work that has an impact on product quality, reliability, performance and a host of other factors.
He says the methods used to tackle technical debt depend on the size of the team and existing processes. The key is to experiment and see what works best.
Product managers and engineering managers should work together to determine how to fix the issue, Asa says. At the very least, there should be someone in the organisation that cares about the process of dealing with technical debt. The key takeaway is that technical debt should be communicated as a business-oriented problem with a measurable investment.
