Definition(s):
TDM is the systematic performance of actions to prevent, identify, measure, prioritize, repay, document, or monitor TD items (intentional and unintentional). TDM seeks to maintain a balance between the ecosystem’s cost and value by making existing TD items visible, controllable, and risk-minimizing. The TDM actions include TDM Macro Activities and Pragmatical Actions (i.e., activities and tasks). TDM actions can be carried out using TDM technologies and artifacts.
