The council wants twelve must-do digital products this year across permits, transit, and parks, and only five Scrum Teams exist. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Twelve pizzas and five ovens is not a planning problem solved with louder promises. City councils can want permits, buses, and parks all at once; the math still has five teams. Decline the overload and make the cut list explicit.
Full Explanation
Portfolio commitments must fit actual capacity. Accepting twelve products with five teams destroys transparency, inflates forecasts, and silently drops work later. Velocity theater, one-hundred-percent confidence, and extra project codes do not create people. An explicit cut list is advanced Product Ownership: strategy and capacity, not political overcommit.
