The city's emergency mass-notification product must be ready every day, but it is funded by an annual project request that sometimes arrives after storm season. What funding model should the Product Owner push?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The fire station is not bid out every January in the hope the check clears before the first fire. Emergency notification is an always-on civic product. Standing capacity beats annual project begging that might miss storm season.
Full Explanation
Continuous critical products need standing capacity models so Current Value and Time-to-Market do not reset each fiscal year. Annual project requests and disaster-declared restarts treat a live emergency capability as a temporary endeavor. Folding notifications into an unrelated parks backlog hides the product and the required skills. Portfolio design should match funding cadence to the product's real operating cadence.
