How would you triage 50+ UX issues against new features in agile?
WHAT IT TESTS: Operationalizing UX debt in agile without stopping ship. ANSWER OUTLINE: Matrix the 50 issues by severity and effort; reserve 15-20% sprint capacity for debt; socialize compound cost. RED FLAG: Batching as equal P2 bugs or freezing features.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you can balance UX debt paydown against feature velocity in agile. ANSWER OUTLINE: First, normalize the 50 findings into a severity-by-effort matrix with design and product. Second, attach engineering estimates so product can weigh cost against roadmap value. Third, negotiate a sustainable allocation, typically 15 to 20 percent of sprint capacity, for debt remediation. Fourth, instrument feedback loops to validate fixes move the heuristic metrics.
