Technical Debt Management
Technical Debt Management is the strategic process within software engineering of identifying, prioritizing, and addressing "technical debt"—the implied cost of rework incurred by choosing expedient, short-term solutions over better, more sustainable approaches. This practice involves a continuous cycle of assessing the codebase for suboptimal designs, architectural flaws, or outdated code, and then making conscious, data-informed decisions about when and how to "repay" this debt through refactoring. The goal is to balance the need for rapid feature delivery with the long-term health of the software, ensuring the system remains maintainable, scalable, and less costly to evolve over time.
