Scenario

When teams avoid acknowledging technical debt

Our engineering team has been avoiding a technical debt conversation for six months because we all know it means admitting we built something that's now limiting us and none of us wants to be responsible for suggesting we slow down feature development to fix our foundation. We keep working around the problems instead of through them, and each workaround makes the next one necessary.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group's shared investment in past decisions prevents them from confronting present limitations that everyone individually recognizes.
