Technical Debt
You:•Take loans if acceptable (no way better)•Having loans under control•Have payment plan clearly•Pay soon, in schedule (weekly, monthly)

Technical Debtis a metaphor developed by Ward Cunningham in 1992
from
Financial Debt
(also known as design debt)
![Page 16: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Technical Debt is Very similar to Financial Debt
![Page 17: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
“Technical Debt includes internal things that you choose not to
do now, but which will impede future development if left undone.
This includes deferred refactoring, but doesn’t include deferred
functionality”
What is Technical Debt?
Ward Cunningham
internal things : might architecture/design structureimpede: delaydeferred: postpone
![Page 18: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
“You have a piece of functionality that you need to add to your
system. You see two ways to do it, one is quick to do but is
messy – you are sure that it will make further changes harder in
the future. The other results in a cleaner design, but will take
longer to put in place”
What is Technical Debt?
Martin Fowler
![Page 19: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Imagine that you have a project that has two potential options..
Decision making
Quick and dirty way,get your features sooner, but make the future changes very hard
Clean and smart way, takes longer to implement but make changes easier in the future
![Page 23: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
In development, releasing code as a quick and easy approach is like incurring
debt - it comes with the obligation of interest, which comes in the form of extra
work in the future.
Taking the time to refactor is equivalent to paying down principal
![Page 24: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

“Shipping first time code is like going into debt”“It’s a question of pay me now or pay me later”
Ward Cunningham

Messy Code is not Technical Debt

“The ability to pay back debt [...] depends upon you writing code that is clean enough to be able to
refactor as you come to understand your problem.”Ward Cunningham
![Page 27: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Technical debt is GOOD or BAD?
![Page 28: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
BAD
If you don’t pay the debt now (fix the code today) you will have to pay some interest in the future (spend more time to fix the same code)
Re-build the whole codebase
Technical debt costs money, time and effort to stakeholders, developers, companies, even to economies
![Page 29: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
BAD
“Most companies have to spend 80% of their software development budget maintaining code”
Aaron Erickson, Informit.com
“Technical debt is like smoking addiction. Once you start hacking your code, the code asks for more. You never know what that will cost in the future.”
Lemi Orhan Ergin, Agilistanbul.com
“High amount of Technical Debt is #1 impediment to teams being agile”Dan Rawsthorne
![Page 30: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
GOOD
• Most people borrow money when they start a business, and they hope that the investment will pay off.
• House loan or a car loan, generally considered acceptable types of debt.
• With credit card, you can pay a week or a month later.
• Most people would agree that it’s absolutely fine to leave the kitchen a mess for a little while.
• Similar, it’s OK to have technical debt for some period of time.
![Page 31: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
GOOD
• It is NOT some terrible monster that needs to be avoided.
• In software development, there is always a constant need to balance speed and quality
• Some quality have to be sacrificed to release features within a
reasonable timeframe. Then, can get feedbacks soon.
• Shortcuts will be tasked as future projects (pay off)
![Page 32: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
GOOD
• Since there’s always someone who is cooking in the kitchen (since developers add/modify/remove code all the time)
• There’s no such thing as software without technical debt
Actually
Question• How long are we allowed to leave the kitchen in such a mess?
• There’s no one-size-fits-all answer
Prefer approach
• Before someone else wants to use the kitchen, clean it up and put everything back in its place
• Before you move to the next feature or bug fix, make sure you already pay off technical debt in the codebase.

Flavors of Technical Debt
• Design & Architectural Debt
• Testing Debt
• Documentation Debt
• Defect Debt
• Framework & 3rd parties libraries Debt
![Page 34: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Design & Architectural Debt
• Perhaps the most well-known type of technical debt, which is caused by poor design and architecture
• Developers put bad code into codebase. Root causes:• Copy-paste programming (duplications)• The absence of design patterns• Not following coding standards or best practices
• But why would developers — even the best ones — write bad code?
![Page 35: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Design & Architectural Debt
• In theory, if you apply care to the quality, then you will constantly have low technical debt.
• In reality, almost all development teams work under pressure and at some point are forced to take shortcuts that sacrifice the quality of their code
boost their short-term productivity to quickly deliver customer features
![Page 36: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Testing Debt
Lack of testing or poor testing quality. The most common patterns• Complete absence of (automated) testing• Tests that should run but don’t• Tests that are unreliable because they randomly fail or take too long to
finish• Mismatches between test scenarios and actual testing• Outdated tests• Too much time spending for regression testing
Writing software without testing is like participating in extreme sports without wearing any protective gear.

www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Documentation Debt
• Documentation is hard work
• Writing clean and readable code over comments and documentation
• Partially agree
• Things that need to be well documented and kept continuously up to date:
• API and common libraries documentation
• Requirements, user stories, and any other sources that describe the
system functionality (JIRA, Confluence, etc.)
• High-level design and architecture documentation
![Page 40: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Defect Debt
Describes the known defects that are not yet fixed because:
• low priority
• low severity
• a known work-around
• rarely reproduced or are reproduced only under extreme or corner
cases
![Page 41: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Framework & 3rd parties libraries Debt
• Not really suitable frameworks• Outdated
• Complicated to implement, not flexible
• Libraries
![Page 42: [Da Nang Scrum Breakfast] Dealing with Technical Debt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070514/587ff2a01a28ab3a1e8b4719/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Everyday Indicators of Technical Debt
“Don’t worry about the documentation for now”
“The only one who can change this code is Thomas”
“It’s ok for now but we’ll refactor it later.”
“ToDo/FixMe: this should be fixed before release”
“Let’s just copy and paste this part”
“I know if I touch that code everything else breaks”
“Let’s finish the testing in the next release”
“The release is coming up, so just get it done”

Game rules
• The game may be played by 4 or 5 people• The first player to reach END gets 5 points, second gets 3 points, third gets 1 point• When a player reaches End, he or she also gets 1 point for each tool card• To enter the "Finish" cell the player should roll anything equal or greater than the
remaining squares• The game ends when there is 1 player remaining on the board• The player with the most points at the end of the game WINS• When a player crosses a “hard choices” square, he or she must decide whether to go
over the shortcut bridge or whether to go the long way and try to collect one or more tool cards
“hard choices” square

www.axon.vnfb.com/AxonActiveVietNamTechnical Debt
Establish a debt payment plan
• When faced with different types of debt, where do we start?• it depends on the team’s skill sets and level• key is to put a plan in place prioritize and execute on it
• Minimal iteration debt payment• half a day in a week• every sprint
• Monitor the debt and keep it manageable
• Pay of the debt continuously• calculate effort within tasks• buffer tasks for refactoring 10% of the team's time
