What is the relationship between technical debt and transparency?
(choose the best two answers)
Choose ALL answers that apply.

It increases transparency as technical debt must be cleared before the Developers can work on functional development.
As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in making future work more difficult to complete.
