A parks PMO still requires stage-gate packets before any recreation-booking Increment may go live, even when the Increment already meets the Definition of Done. What should the Product Owner collaborate toward?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A Done recreation-booking Increment already is the evidence. Making it sit in a stage-gate inbox is like inspecting a finished playground and then locking the gate for paperwork. Partner with the PMO to let Increment evidence replace theater gates wherever the risk allows.
Full Explanation
Stage gates optimize for predictive approval packets, not for frequent inspection of working product. When a recreation-booking Increment already meets the Definition of Done, additional gates mainly delay Time-to-Market and weaken empiricism. The Product Owner should collaborate with the PMO to substitute Increment evidence—working software, measures, and stakeholder inspection—for those gates where possible. More reviewers or abandoning Done both make the delay worse.
