LEAP – A Process for Identifying Potential Technical Debt in Iterative System Development

Howard Kleinwaks,
Ann Batchelor,
Thomas Bradley
et al.

Abstract: Systems engineering has seen a rise in the use of iterative methods to design and develop both hardware and software systems which allow for system refinement to be responsive to user needs. However, focusing on items with high value to the user can result in technical debt, where technical compromises made for short‐term gain impact the long‐term health of the system. Current methods for identifying technical debt focus on finding existing technical debt items within a system and not on proactive identificati… Show more

“…Kleinwaks et al [1] developed the List, Evaluate, Achieve, Procure (LEAP) process to provide a structured approach to identifying technologies that are critical to meeting the stakeholders' needs. This process uses matrix operations to mathematically combine a system functional breakdown with stakeholder needs to identify capabilities that will be delivered late to need and the technologies that drive the delivery timelines.…”
