  • It can typically prioritize Documentation Debt Reduction using documentation debt management strategy scoring.

  • It can range from being a Automated Documentation Debt Management Strategy to being a Manual Documentation Debt Management Strategy, depending on its documentation debt management strategy tooling.
  • ...
  • It can maximize Future Option Value through documentation debt management strategy strategic deferral.
  • It can enhance System Evolvability via documentation debt management strategy targeted investment.
  • It can accelerate Market Response Time using documentation debt management strategy agility preservation.
  • It can amplify Learning Value through documentation debt management strategy iterative discovery.

• Examples:
  • Sprint Allocation Documentation Debt Management Strategy, dedicating sprint capacity percentage to documentation debt reduction.
  • Risk-Based Documentation Debt Management Strategy, addressing high-risk documentation debt in critical system areas first.
  • Boy Scout Documentation Debt Management Strategy, improving documentation whenever code is touched.
  • Documentation Sprint Strategy, running dedicated documentation sprints quarterly.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Zero-Tolerance Documentation Strategy, which blocks releases for documentation gaps rather than documentation debt management strategy.
  • Documentation-First Strategy, which prevents debt accumulation rather than documentation debt management strategy.
