Issue Organizations most constrained by tech debt forecast the largest maturity leaps

Summary

KPMG spots a contradiction inside its own survey results concerning technical debt. Respondents who say remediation costs frequently stop them from funding new technology programs expect bigger maturity gains over the next twelve months. By comparison, those who say this rarely or never happens forecast more modest progress. The report reads the pattern as a sign that some organizations are underestimating how seriously debt constrains them. The implication is that the most burdened firms may be the least realistic about their plans, which reinforces the report's doubts about one-year leaps in maturity.
