Your question is Prioritize Debt vs Feature Delivery. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are leading an engineering roadmap where the team is under pressure to ship new customer-facing features, but the codebase also has growing technical debt that is slowing development and increasing operational risk. You need a clear way to decide when debt should be addressed now versus deferred in favor of feature work.
How do you prioritize technical debt against new feature development?
