Tech Debt and how to get your Product Manager on board?
Yael Schweiger Product Owner @K.Lab and Raz Shuty Engineering Manager @Wikimedia DE meet again to talk about tech debt:
We concluded in the episode that tech debt is a normal thing in every place, and no company or org exists without tech-debt.
We mapped types of tech-debts, clarified why and how they happen and discussed strategies of dealing with them + strategies of communication about them
