Frequently Asked Questions about tech-debt-tracking

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify and categorize technical debt in my codebase?▼

Identify technical debt by scanning code for indicators like TODO comments, outdated dependencies, and code duplication. The Skill categorizes these items and assesses their severity and remediation effort for proactive management.

How do I calculate the impact score of technical debt for sprint planning?▼

Calculate technical debt impact by assessing severity and required resolution effort. The Skill scores and prioritizes debt items, enabling allocation of sprint capacity for remediation during sprint planning.

What is debt budgeting and how does it allocate sprint capacity for refactoring?▼

Debt budgeting allocates a portion of sprint capacity specifically for technical debt remediation. It uses impact analysis and payoff estimation to prioritize refactoring tasks within development sprints.

Can I use code analysis to prioritize technical debt based on business impact?▼

Code analysis prioritizes technical debt by scoring and categorizing discovered items. The Skill assesses severity and effort, allowing teams to prioritize remediation based on business impact and payoff estimates.

What are the limitations of tracking technical debt through TODO comments and code duplication?▼

Tracking technical debt through TODO comments and duplication focuses on common indicators but may miss architectural issues. The Skill manages discovered debt through impact scoring, though undiscovered structural debt remains unmanaged.

When do I need technical debt management for continuous code quality improvement?▼

Technical debt management is needed when maintaining continuous code quality improvement. It systematically identifies, scores, and prioritizes debt for remediation, satisfying proactive management requirements within development sprints.
