DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will discuss a common and pernicious form of tec
 hnical debt--called design debt\, or architecture debt. I will briefly pre
 sent the theoretical foundation behind this form of debt and present a bro
 ad set of evidence demonstrating its dramatic effects on project outcomes.
  That is the bad news. The good news is that we can automatically pinpoint
  the causes and scope of such debt. I will describe how we can automatical
 ly locate it\, measure it\, and create the business case for removing it. 
 Finally\, I will explain how we can remove--pay down--this debt via refact
 oring. I will also sketch some of my experiences doing all of this in real
 -world projects\, along with the outcomes.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE PES Mo
