Technical Debt Reduction
description
Quarterly cross-team initiative to identify, prioritize, and systematically address
accumulated technical debt across the codebase and infrastructure. Teams nominate
debt items, which are reviewed by principal engineers and architects for impact and
remediation cost. Selected items are scoped into dedicated reduction sprints or
allocated a fixed percentage of each sprint's capacity. Progress is tracked in a
shared backlog, and outcomes are reviewed in a quarterly architecture sync. The
workflow balances shipping new value with maintaining a sustainable, high-quality
codebase over the long term.
