When an organization takes on technical debt unknowingly we call it Dark Debt. While we’ve gotten good at identifying and managing technical debt, Dark Debt of the cultural variety is harder to see.
Is your IT organization’s culture impacted by:
Invisible and unplanned work
Late work or low quality work
Unclear priorities and wasted effort
If so, you’re likely dealing with unintended consequences of decisions that caused misalignment and a lack of visibility - two common causes of Dark Debt. Join us to learn how to recognize and avoid the causes of Dark Debt so you can start repairing the culture of your organization.

Conduct - how do we behave?
Strategy - what do we do?
Value - how will we succeed?
Responsibilities - who does what?
Priorities - what is the most important?
What happens if we ignore cultural debt regarding leadership?
