Feedback form is now closed.
A technical debt remediation project that was already in its planning phase had to be completely reimagined for a post-pandemic return to campus. With a list of 9 compliance metrics needing to be assessed on over 1,700 devices across a 50 department division, the sudden change to remote-work brought on by the global pandemic made accurate inventory management seemingly impossible. Equipped with a department of only 13 technology staff members, we developed a comprehensive schedule and communication plan and roll-out to accommodate the unique needs of 50 different stakeholder departments.

Presentation will include:
- Problem overview (what is Technical Debt? How does it compound? Why is it difficult to eliminate?
- Mechanisms we tracked
- Tools and resources
- Communication plans
- Various roadblocks and solutions
- Overall completion metrics
- Technical debt prevention methods

Participants will leave with a blueprint for addressing tech debt in their organizations.
