How do you address technical debt in long-term projects?

I treat technical debt like any other risk—track it transparently in our backlog or issue

tracker. I encourage the team to prioritize it alongside new features during sprint planning.

In one project, we scheduled “debt sprints” every few months to pay down accumulated

issues. I also promote writing code with future maintainers in mind, using automated tests

nd code reviews to prevent new debt.
