Abstract

In this paper, we look how changes and challenges in technical debt and its management that could emerge from the ongoing digital transformation. The digital transformation ensues from companies' opportunities to join various digital ecosystems and use external digital infrastructures to extend business operations and capabilities. Those external infrastructures cannot be controlled by their users, which is interesting especially from the service, systems and software development viewpoint. This will have also impact on technical debt and its management. We outline these changes and challenges with possible scenarios that could occur with technical debt during this change.
