I am convinced one of Joel Spolskys lasting contributions to the field of managing software teams will turn out to be the Joel Test , a checklist of 12 essential practices that you could use to rate the effectiveness of a software product development team.

Like a financial debt, the technical debt incurs interest payments, which come in the form of the extra effort that we have to do in future development because of the quick and dirty design choice. Although it costs to pay down the principal, we gain by reduced interest payments in the future. Instead, we balance lots of unknowns.

I am very glad the presentation went well and Im sorry I missed it. The presentation and the Q&A session afterwards were both great. I have been using various forms of Agile development -- mainly XP and Scrum -- for many years, but only recently came across "customer development" which makes a whole lot of sense to me.
