Design debt is a low quality design that is likely to cause future costs. The term is an analogy to financial debt.Designs include engineering, technical plans, visual design and any other plan that details how to build something. Design debts are a type of risk that occur due to constraints such as budget, time or the abilities of the designer. As with all risk, design debt isn't necessarily a bad thing. Design requires tradeoffs that often result in a design debt of one type or another.
