In the world of product development, both technical debt and design debt play a crucial role in impacting the user experience and the product's success.
Technical debt involves shortcuts and sub-optimal decisions made during development, leading to slower cycles, increased bugs, and higher costs.
Design debt occurs when design compromises affect user experience, resulting in frustration, lower conversions, and brand perception issues.
Managing both design and tech debt proactively on the product roadmap is essential for ensuring a stable, usable, and innovative future for the product.
