Technical Debt & Rationalisation
Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-6 hoursTechnical debt taxonomy + rationalisation prioritisation framework + modernisation criteria

How to understand, measure, prioritise, and reduce technical debt — the accumulated cost of shortcuts, outdated decisions, and deferred maintenance.

...demoralises teams Leadership often doesn't see the cost of debt — because it's invisible in the short term. Features still ship. The system still runs. But the cost accumulates silently — every sprint takes longer,...
