Course Description

In today's ever-evolving digital landscape, it is often a challenge for software development teams to balance speed and quality. Technical debt, a metaphorical concept, arises when suboptimal or hasty decisions are made during the development process, leading to potential issues and increased costs in the future. To deliver high-quality software in a timely fashion, you and your team must maintain a balance between the effort spent on minimizing technical debt and the time it takes to develop new functionality.

This program is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of technical debt, including its causes, effects, and, most importantly, how to manage it effectively. The goal of the program is to equip everyone—from software engineers to project managers—with the best practices and tools necessary to make informed decisions and create a healthier software development ecosystem.
