How it all fits together
A single diagram of how socio-technical debt divides into social and technical debt, and how the register's 79 categories are distributed and arranged within each domain. Sub-categories are indented under their parent category. Every name links to the category's card in the register.
- Social debt: debt in decisions, structures and relationships
- Technical debt: debt in artefacts
- Sub-category of the category above
- Technical sub-category whose parent category is social
- ★ Added to the register after the thesis
The diagram builds on figure 2 of the thesis, where the categories were sorted into two domains, and has been extended with the 34 categories added after the thesis and with the arrangement of 26 sub-categories. It is generated from the same data as the register and is updated whenever the register changes.
