A transit app release has most committed items Done, and the product owner explicitly authorizes deferring two low-priority enhancements. How can readiness be described?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You can ship the bus you finished if the product owner knowingly leaves two shiny extras at the depot. Authorized deferral is conditional readiness—not a secret eraser or an infinite backlog jail.
Full Explanation
Backlog-based readiness can be conditional: if committed release items meet Done and the product owner explicitly agrees to defer other items, the scoped release may proceed. Requiring every historical idea, hiding deferrals, or treating any partial completion as a permanent block misreads authorized scope decisions.
