Hunting Tech Debt via Org Chart
Engineering org plays an important role in product development in any company. The relationship it has with other organizations can likely introduce different type of tech debts that can cripple the business when not tended to. The org chart can be used to determine which type of tech debt it'd be, depending on which org reports to which.
If engineering is on top, engineers will prioritize making systems overly complex and hard to maintain.
If product is on top, the rush to ship features quickly can make the development process slower by not tending to good engineering practices that don't yield direct product values.
If security is on top, development of new features or upgrades will be blocked which risks out-of-date software.
If the org is flat, open communication and internal politics will take over.
All organizations are necessary in the company, and everything should be in moderation. They should be peers that report the CEO or the board.
