Overcome Tech Debt and Restore Agility
Excessive tech debt slows product engineering, making it harder to scale, innovate, and remain competitive. EPSD helps organizations understand and overcome their tech debt, restore agility, and accelerate growth—without disrupting product delivery.
Almost all innovation accrues tech debt. In the early stages, speed often takes priority over long-term sustainability. While some debt is strategic and intentional, delaying resolution too long compounds the problem, leading to inefficiencies, instability, and lost momentum.
When managed strategically, technical shortcuts can accelerate development. But accumulated over time, they create exponential drag on organizational velocity and profitability.
Address the Underlying Problems
Technical constraints aren’t IT problems; the IT problems are symptoms of organizational priorities and executive decisions. When development cycles lengthen unexpectedly, integrations become multi-quarter efforts, and maintenance overwhelms innovation, your organization faces deep structural challenges.
EPSD provides comprehensive evaluation and systematic improvement strategies that maintain operational stability while building sustainable solutions.
Gain Visibility Through a Comprehensive Tech Debt Survey
Leaders often sense technical constraints exist but lack concrete data about scope and consequences. EPSD’s confidential engineering surveys aggregate distributed team insights into unified organizational intelligence that creates clear executive choices.
Our assessments reveal:
- Resource distribution across maintenance versus development
- How your product introduction and feature requirement processes are setting your ENG teams up for failure
- How executive pivots, tight delivery timelines, and imbalanced investment reduce velocity and increase tech debt symptoms like fragility and information security vulnerabilities
- Bottlenecks constraining productivity
- Infrastructure gaps limiting growth
- Interdependencies creating compound delays
Professional evaluation transforms these discoveries into financial projections, enabling executives to make informed technology investments based on projected returns.
