This table references software in business applications that is not aligned with TRM software phases. The table identifies software that either is not defined in TRM or has TRM product lifecycles that restrict software usage. For information about technical debt calculation, see [Technical debt calculation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Dn9Fxcic2TBTXHQvvJrIxQ "Technical debt records identify products used in business applications that aren't approved in the TRM or that use unapproved versions. View technical debt records to understand conformance gaps and plan remediation."). Note: The Populate TRM technical debts in the EA Workspace scheduled job is available only when the Software Asset Management (SAM) Foundation or Software Asset Management (SAM) Professional plugin is installed. Technical debt records persist across job runs instead of being deleted and re-created. Each record moves between Active, Resolved, and Archived states. For details, see [TRM technical debt states and transitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/gagEVaUCPyGscjporpJodA "A TRM technical debt record persists across scheduled job runs and moves between Active, Resolved, and Archived states instead of being deleted and re-created."). ## Procedure 1. Navigate to WorkspaceEnterprise Architecture Workspace. 2. Select the Technology Portfolio icon ![]() to open the Technology Portfolio page. 3. Select Technical Debt. Note: You can also open this list directly by selecting the Business applications with TRM technical debt card in the Portfolio Overview and Health section on the Enterprise Architecture Workspace home page. 4. In the Number column, select a value to open the technical debt record. Note: Technical debt records created before an upgrade to Enterprise Architecture Workspace version 10.1.3 display (empty) in the Number column. Select (empty) to open these records. For field information, see [TRM technical debt form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ayQSg2jg_M5xKVAT89iLRg "Create Technology Reference Model (TRM) technical debts for products that aren't aligned with TRM phases and standards."). 5. In the technical debt record, select the Discovered Technology related list to view the TPM discovered technology records that the technical debt was created from. {#view-trm-tech-debt__steps_psq_rfh_jkc} ## Result The list displays TRM products, associated business application details, and the reason for each technical debt. Use this information to identify and address alignment issues in your technology portfolio. **Related concepts** * [Technology Reference Model in Enterprise Architecture Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/tdLhqk0Uf8u~_yW~ZOQEBw "The Technology Reference Model (TRM) feature in Enterprise Architecture Workspace helps define the standards for your software and hardware products and manage unapproved products in your organization.") **Related tasks** * [View all TRM phases](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Rfw7xmWua5MbMsLVoP3dHg "You can view the list of all Technology Reference Model (TRM) phases in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.") * [Create a TRM product in Enterprise Architecture Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/YDXbJmUeJ8um3W0NqlBSHg "Create a TRM product and optionally add one or more product lifecycles in a single operation.") * [View all TRM categories](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ro4xzwjs1D1QfCCSXyRAag "You can view the list of all Technology Reference Model (TRM) categories in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.") * [View all TRM products](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/4sdSTf3DT4V5k~mIBLjNLA "You can view all available Technology Reference Model (TRM) products in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.") * [Update TRM technical debt data using scheduled job](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/O2BAZHwURCmgvYYQr3YlIQ "Run the scheduled job to update technical debt data based on Technology Reference Model (TRM) phases.
