A matrixed GIS layer squad reports to both a functional GIS manager and a product owner for an adaptive map release. What condition most improves adaptive success in that structure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
In a matrix, the GIS squad can still move fast if one product owner clearly owns what gets built next — otherwise two bosses yank the backlog like a tug-of-war rope. Clear product authority is the glue. Undefined priority or silencing the product owner stalls adaptive work.
Full Explanation
Matrix organizations can run adaptive squads when product ownership of backlog priority and acceptance is unambiguous. For a GIS layer release, clear product owner authority reduces conflicting direction from functional lines. Undefined priority rights or excluding the product owner from stakeholders and acceptance undermines adaptive flow.
