#CallForSpeakers pitch for #LandingFestival Berlin 2018

Considered leveraging your technical debt?

Description

How often do you hear the term MVP (minimum viable product) bandied around in startup land? It’s often a necessary evil. Technical debt, or the implied cost of the additional work caused by choosing an easy option now, rather than opting for a better solution which may take more time, is commonplace in almost every engineering team and its products. As engineers, we need to aggressively manage our technical debt, but also open our eyes to the opportunity it can provide. It’s akin to financial leverage, and has future value.

Key takeaway

I'll debunk the myths around technical debt, share how to aggressively manage it, and how to leverage it for the good of the product, the team, the company and the end user.
