A debt register
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
keep a lightweight list that supports decisions.
Planned topics
- Each item: description, area, type (quadrant), interest estimate, cost to fix, risk, owner, evidence links.
- Keep it where the team works (tracker or repository), reviewed regularly, not a graveyard.
- Remove items that no longer matter; merge duplicates.
- A list with no costs cannot be prioritized.
