TD impact refers to the effect or influence (positive or negative) of the existing TD items in the software project ecosystem. The most observed positive impacts of TD refer to their advantages to the project management’s actions and software organizations’ business goals. In turn, the negative TD impacts are more associated with risks to the internal quality of software products, software organizations’ business goals, and project management’s actions.
