Improve our processes for managing technical debt

[36degrees]

What

Improve our processes for tracking, triaging and paying down tech debt.

Why

This came up as part of a 'tech & ops health check' exercise the team ran in November 2020, as part of the 'tech debt process' practise.

We scored ourselves as 'poor' for that practise, and said that we were 'moderately concerned' about it.

Further detail

There is some guidance on tracking technical debt in the GDS Way.

Who needs to know about this

Developers, product manager and delivery manager.

@louzoid-gds has said that she may be able to help with this as well.
