Technical Debt for Non-Developer Scrum Team Members

So is "technical debt" too technical for non-developers to understand? Nope, not really. it's actually pretty easy and it totally makes sense even when applied to non-technical work. So in this video, I'll explain what it is in simple terms and with plenty of examples. In this video, I talked about:  ✅ What is technical debt, actually? ✅ What is technical debt in IT? ✅ What happens when you don't pay your debt and create more of it? ✅ How to show tech debt to the business side? ✅ How to reduce technical debt that already exists in your product? ✅ How to document technical debt? ✅ The easiest strategy to ensure you don't create more tech debt #Scrum #Technicaldebt #developer ◾◾◾◾◾ Resources mentioned:  🎥 Definition of Done VS Acceptance Criteria: https://scrummastered.com/blog/definition-of-done-vs-acceptance-criteria/ 📕 The comprehensive guide on the Definition of Done: https://store.scrummastered.com/products/definition-of-done ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ✨ MENTORSHIP ✨ 📅 Enrol in my mentorship program: https://scrummastered.com/scrum-master-mentorship-program/ 📩 Subscribe to my newsletter to get updates on new stuff and special offers: https://scrummastered.com/free-downloads/ 📚 BUY the essential Scrum Master tools: http://store.scrummastered.com/ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ✨ MY FAVORITE TOOLS ✨ Use my referral links to get some sweet bonuses ⚪ My digital notepad --- Get $40 off https://remarkable.com/referral/X55X-CA79 Today's episode will be a little bit different as I am sharing three conversations I had in-person during the Scrum Day Madison this September. The people I'm talking to are the co-organizers of the Scrum Masters of the Universe meetup. We'll hear their stories and journeys into the Scrum Master roles. We discussed the challenges (as always :) and their success stories. And I also asked them what they think about the Scrum Master salary - what should it be? Since it was the first time I used my equipment to film in person, the video is not ideal, sometimes it gets a bit choppy, and sometimes it's out of focus. But the discussions we had were insightful as always.
