Astuce : reformulez la négociation autour du coût d’opportunité. Demandez à l’ingénierie de lister les dettes qui ralentissent directement les features urgentes, puis proposez un « budget dette » (ex. 20 %) conditionné à des métriques livrées. Ajoutez une clause de réévaluation chaque sprint pour que l’accord reste vivant.
