You are the Product Owner, and If you have to decide, then which one will you care? To better deal with this situation, let's understand what is Technical Debt and UNDONE work is all about?
It is a concept from software development. Tech Debt reflects on taking poor technical choices now, i.e., trading-off quality for time and not taking the better approach that would take longer. One can also define it as the long-term consequences of poor design decisions. Sometimes, the tech debt is intentional and sometimes is not. So, what causes it?
There is an analogy for Technical Debt - It's diabetes. There is no cure, but you can only control for a quality life. Should you ignore this, and there are serious consequences. The high technical debt system is highly unstable and unpredictable, which requires more maintenance and hence increases its operating cost. When developing new functionality on the system that carries high technical Debt, due to system failure's unpredictability, it often increases the development cost and hence increases the Total Cost of Ownership.

Explore Practice Test.The single most purpose of the Scrum is to create a Potentially releasable DONE increment of the Product, which means the Increment meets the Definition of DONE (DoD). Any work on the Increment that doesn't meet the DoD is termed as UNDONE work of that Sprint.
The unfinished or UNDONE work is never a part of the Increment and must be placed back to the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to re-order. But what is more hazardous for the Product, is it the Technical Debt or UNDONE work? It isn't straightforward to answer this question as both cause damage to the Product. Technical Debt causes long term damage wherein UNDONE work causes all the time.
These are a few of the questions that I have come across in my sessions, and I shall be answering them one by one in my upcoming blogs. Should you have more questions around this, feel free to post and I will try and answer them.

WhatsApp UsI recently concluded my PSM 1 training from Agilemania with Piyush being the instructor. I have had multiple trainings before but this one was very different - Good different. For many reasons : 1. Piyush’s content delivery was by far the best I have seen. This tells he has done this many times or to be short, is an expert at this. 2. Unique way to present. I won’t break the surprise but there were no slides or ppt's during the training. And yet, it was so engaging, I felt as active throughout as at the start. This also gave me inspiration to do something different when it comes to your presentation. 3. Different types of activities in breakout rooms. This gave me the opportunity to interact with fellow trainees like myself who were there to learn. You got to try out those. P.S. - there will be always a catch. 4. Full of real life examples. Piyush gave real life examples from his experience that helped me to understand the concepts better. 5. Lastly, there were optimum breaks in 2 days that helped me to remain focused throughout. When I was choosing the trainer for PSM 1 from Scrum.org, I read a lot of reviews for many trainers. I chose Agilemania after careful evaluation. I was right. Hope this honest review helps others in line.
I have taken the session with AgileMania for PSM-1 Certification and my trainer was Piyush Rahate. Piyush's sessions are very interactive and engaging. Highly recommended!
Preeth Pandalay is an excellent trainer! He makes learning concepts easy to understand and applies them with real-world examples. His sessions are engaging and interactive. With his guidance, I successfully passed the PSM assessment on my first attempt. Thank you :)
I attended the virtual PSPO-I course offered by Agilemania, led by Sumeet Madan. The course was excellent and provided valuable insights that helped me successfully pass the exam. Additionally, the provided study materials were comprehensive and highly useful.
Sumeet was an excellent instructor. His knowledge on Scrum is excellent and he made the session interesting with his Funny but relevant examples. He also went beyond to explain how ChatGPT can be used as a tool to assist a product owner.
