Genesis10's Harley Lippman Provides Tip for Reducing Technical Debt to CIO.com

Controlling technical debt is a team effort and should be managed as a project, said Genesis10 CEO Harley Lippman in a CIO.com article that offers advice on ways to reduce or eliminate technical debt with few, if any, adverse effects.

"This will give the organization a fighting chance of not forgetting about it or letting time get away," he said.

According to the article, completing an IT software project quickly without incurring some level of technical debt is challenging. When a project is developed and deployed in a rush, quality often suffers and the venture must inevitably be revisited to repair compatibility problems, security gaps, performance issues and various other budget-draining headaches.

Lippman suggests teams focus on incremental improvements. “Consider establishing team metrics to ensure team alignment as well as establishing managing technical debt as a priority," he advises.

Named one of the most influential leaders in the staffing industry by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), Harley Lippman is recognized in USA Today as one of the Best CEOs in the U.S. Genesis10 has earned national recognition as a top IT staffing firm from SIA, Gartner and Everest Group, and has received a Best Leadership Team award from Comparably.
