How does EA help manage technical debt?
Technical debt occurs when short-term decisions create additional costs, risks or constraints in the future.
Examples include outdated technology, duplicated systems, poor integrations, unsupported platforms and overly complex architectures.
EA helps make technical debt visible.
Rather than treating technical debt as purely a technical problem, architecture can translate it into business impacts such as increased operating cost, slower delivery, security exposure or inability to support strategic change.
