In a world of limited resources where prioritization and trade-offs are constantly needed it’s inevitable that the software development process is somehow impacted, thus increasing costs over time, phenomenon which Ward Cunningham called “technical debt” as a metaphor to financial debt. Cunningham states, "Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite”. The goal of this dissertation is to deepen and understand the limits of this metaphor as well as to propose a way to integrate the technical debt management into a software development project. For such, we have used both secondary (literature review) and primary (field study) research methods. This research contributes in a way that it proposes a preliminary approach to technical debt management in software development projects that use Scrum.
