Abstract

Technical debt has become a crucial factor hindering the development of enterprise IT projects, and its management strategy directly affects the success or failure of projects. By constructing a multi-party game model of technical debt management using game theory, this study analyzes the strategic choices and interactions among project managers, development teams, and clients, revealing the evolutionary laws of technical debt. The research shows that a reasonable technical debt management strategy can reduce system maintenance costs by 30% and improve development efficiency by 40%. Case analysis verifies the practicality of the model and provides management suggestions based on game equilibrium. The research findings provide theoretical and practical guidance for technical debt management in enterprise IT projects.
