Ratcheting to Zero: How Incremental Constraints Eliminate Technical Debt

Ratcheting to Zero with Dave Mosher – Agile Tech Talks

Wednesday, May 14 at 11:00 AM ET • Online Session

In this practical session, Dave Mosher draws from 20+ years as a specialized generalist to address one of Agile’s most persistent blind spots: the implementation gap between acknowledging technical debt and effectively eliminating it. 

Agile methodologies are often prescriptive when it comes to ceremonies, but they frequently fall short on tactical approaches to managing technical debt, leaving teams with the “why” but not the crucial “how.” Drawing from his experience as a consultant and startup veteran, Dave will showcase how adaptive principles—what he calls “little-a agile”—provide concrete pathways for incremental improvement where ceremonial approaches fall short. 

Through a real-world case study of reducing 2,500 TypeScript lint errors to zero over three months using automated ratcheting techniques, Dave will explore how specific, measurable approaches create momentum that brings both skeptics and enthusiasts together. Attendees will learn practical techniques to shift from generalized tech debt discussions to automated, incremental improvement, transforming overwhelming backlogs into achievable progress that builds team confidence and stakeholder trust.
