Impact
- UNDONE Work – Delayed feedback cycle and the value delivery
- Technical Debt – Increased Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
You are the Product Owner, and If you have to decide, then which one will you care?
To better deal with this situation, let’s understand what is Technical Debt and UNDONE work is all about?
Technical Debt:
It is a concept from software development. Tech Debt reflects on taking poor technical choices now, i.e., trading-off quality for time and not taking the better approach that would take longer.
One can also define it as the long-term consequences of poor design decisions.
Sometimes, the tech debt is intentional and sometimes is not. So, what causes it?
Intentional or active Tech Debt
- A conscious choice of taking down quality to hit the market early
- Maybe to take a competitive edge in the market or
- To validate an idea for early feedback
Unintentional or passive Tech Debt
- Development team learnings about the problem
- Frequent changes in the team’s composition
- An evolving Definition of DONE
There is an analogy for Technical Debt – It’s diabetes. There is no cure, but you can only control for a quality life. Should you ignore this, and there are serious consequences.
The high technical debt system is highly unstable and unpredictable, which requires more maintenance and hence increases its operating cost. When developing new functionality on the system that carries high technical Debt, due to system failure’s unpredictability, it often increases the development cost and hence increases the Total Cost of Ownership.

Previous articles of mine explained about, what is the technical debt and how this impacts the total cost of ownership.
The articles also included why a Product Should care about the technical debt and allow the development team to refactor the code to control the technical debt.Anything that can be measured can be improved.
For improving (lower) the technical debt, the pre-requisite is to measure it first.Developers or sometimes the Product companies do categorize the technical debts.
There are no rules defined, but one can organize the technical debts and then use some methods to deal with that.The debt classification:The debt of defectsThe debt of designThe debt of compliance and documentationThe debt of ignored testsThe debt of algorithms and flawed logicsThe debt os the architectureThe debt of team skillsMany more…..These debts lead to the Product pains of reliability, maintainability, portability, security, recurring issues, and many more that elevates the Product operational cost.As a Product Owner, one must care about the technical debt, failing which causes a long-term catastrophe, where Product maintenance cost becomes higher than the revenues, and the Product ultimately gets grave.

Technical debt is the outcome of implementation of the simplified and short-term solutions in development, which lead to constantly increasing expenses and time required for the following fine-tuning, code rewriting or existing product maintenance.
