The importance of proper design and handling technical debt
A documented design ensures that all stakeholders, from technical teams to business leaders, have a clear understanding of the system’s architecture. This alignment helps avoid miscommunication and ensures everyone is working toward the same goals, making it easier to meet business requirements.
Accurate designs play a crucial role in identifying areas of technical debt early in the development process.
Technical debt refers to the shortcuts or suboptimal solutions made during the implementation process that allow for faster delivery but create long-term issues or inefficiencies. If not addressed promptly, this can often result in higher costs or reduced performance.
