What is Technical Debt?

Technical debt is the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy (limited) solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer.

Common causes of technical debt include: ongoing development, long series of product enhancements over time renders old solutions sub-optimal, insufficient up-front definition, where requirements are still being defined during development, and when development starts before any design takes place.
