Predicting the Dynamics of Earned Value Creation in the Presence of Technical Debt

Image shows a ball and chain locked to a flowchart representing a system. On the ball is the term “Technical Debt.” Above this image there is a graph with the following caption: “FIGURE 10. Cumulative probabilities of completing the aircraft project under various technical debt and parallelism assumptions.” The variable Cumulative Probability on the Y axis, and the variable Project Duration (months) on the X axis. The lines showing “No Technical Debt” has the lowest time projection. The lines showing “High Technical Debt” has the most time projection. This is true when adjusting for task parallelism, though shifted down the X axis quite a lot.
