## Abstract

Technical debt is pervasive, costly, and too often managed by gut feelings. Effective management requires visibility. However, existing technical debt visualization tools are too code‑centric and fragmented: they are tied to specific languages, rely on static metrics that miss context, and seldom reshape how organizations prioritize or act. Practitioners wish for more and better Technical Debt visualization. This keynote will move beyond metrics like the isolated complexity scores and code duplications to cover more holistic project- and organization-wide visualizations that give a stronger decision support to manage Technical Debt.

The keynote draws on more than a decade of research in collaboration led by Prof. Martini with 20+ international companies based in North Europe such as Visma, Akva Group, Knowit, Vy and Siemens. It will showcase visualizations from tools like TD Pulse, DebtQuest and novel AI-powered solutions integrating multiple data sources in meaningful insights, that reveal gaps in organisational scaffolding and practices, inter- and cross-team misalignment, role friction, issue resolution patterns, and their ties to KPIs. The results of our latest research, an ongoing three-year Norwegian innovation project, shows that these visualizations have a strong learning effect and consistently help assessing and improving the management of technical debt in various organizations.
