I'm currently working on a project where technical debt has started to pile up, and it's beginning to affect the stability of our software. However, the team is under pressure to deliver new features quickly, and we’re struggling to strike a balance.

What strategies or workflows have you used to address technical debt without halting feature development? Are there specific tools or techniques that helped your team prioritize and fix these issues efficiently?"

This approach presents a real-world challenge and invites practical, experience-based solutions.

While I'm conversant with this, your last sentence is incongruous with your first two paragraphs. Why is that?

That aside, after decades of development work which is not all software the answer became clear. Ready? "Are you willing to pay?"
That is, while SEI Level 5 can be obtained, can you afford it?

Payment can be money, time and leaving the technical debt for later work.
