Wondering Why Your Software Project Is Slowing Down?

Why do software projects seem to slow down as time progresses? Ideally, the amount of work required to keep the product maintained should be _less_ than it takes to initially develop, so the amount of work required should taper off, right? But why do new feature additions and defect resolutions seem to take so much longer? **How can you get a project back up to speed?**

I've been consulting and developing software for the web for more than a decade now, and I have some experience with project slow-down: _The Morass of Maintenance_. Every project incurs what experts call _Technical Debt_ during its lifecycle: corners are cut, inefficient code is written, and less-than-stellar decisions are made, all to help speed the product towards delivery.

It happens.

Just like in business or personal finance, It's okay to carry a little debt that you're _tracking and aware of_, that you can assess and address. **Are you aware of and addressing your Technical Debt?**

There are a few techniques that you can implement to get _your business_ out of the Morass of Maintenance and **start paying down your Technical Debt**. Just like an accountant or bookkeeper would pore over your financial records, I start by digging deep into your codebase to _find and document_ the areas of Technical Debt in your application and provide recommended steps to _reduce your Tech Debt_ over time.

**Book some time with me today** to chat about your application and how we can start to **pay down your Technical Debt and speed up your development team!**
