Roundtable: Managing Technical Debt
Technical debt isn’t just an engineering problem—it’s a leadership challenge. Every fast-moving team accumulates it, but when left unchecked, it can slow development, increase costs, and create long-term risks. So how can engineering leaders identify, prioritize, and address it strategically—without disrupting business goals?
In this roundtable, we’ll explore:
- Identifying and assessing technical debt before it becomes a crisis
- Prioritizing refactoring efforts alongside new feature development
- Securing buy-in from stakeholders to invest in long-term stability
- Building a culture of sustainability to prevent debt from piling up
Hosted by Dan Hobbs, most recently Director of Software Engineering at Salesforce, a seasoned leader with 20+ years of experience architecting large-scale systems and managing global teams. Dan has built high-performing engineering organizations at Salesforce, Glassdoor, CBS Interactive, CNET, and more—helping teams balance speed, scalability, and sustainability.
Join us for a candid discussion on managing technical debt—because the right strategy today prevents costly slowdowns tomorrow.
