Techniques to Tackle Tech Debt

Join us for the August CIJUG meetup on Thursday August 21st, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM, hosted at Source Allies (or online). Dustin Thostenson will present "Techniques to Tackle Tech Debt Today."

Between aggressive deadlines and mounting tech-debt, teams often feel helpless. They struggle to deliver high quality solutions they are proud of which also delight their users.
Sometimes leaders can't help them. Teams recognize the origins of the mess but often grapple to break free.

Thankfully there are tried and true tactics to tackle the tech-debt troubles, today! You don't need a dramatic dedicated deconstruction department. You and your team can solve this yourselves! Learn technical, political, and procedural techniques to create more joy in the new work with less pain from the old.
