The Tech Debt Sprint Will Not Save You
A debt sprint is a confession, not a strategy. It’s an admission that debt was never part of normal prioritization, dressed up as a responsible act. If you’re a PM who has ever scheduled one, you already know this. You felt the relief when it landed on the roadmap, and you felt the velocity drop resume two sprints later. Technical debt doesn’t accumulate despite your backlog decisions. It accumulates because of them.
