Question

Internal cross-charges bill parks and public health by the ticket, so each department hoards a local app instead of sharing a citizen-identity product. What should the Product Owner flag?

Accepted Answer

That the charging model punishes collaboration and therefore harms citywide portfolio value. — If every kitchen gets billed every time it borrows salt, nobody shares salt and the city buys three shakers. Cross-charging that punishes a shared identity product is an incentive bug. Flag it as a portfolio problem, not as a reason to hide work in a drawer.

Answer

That departments should add a markup so the hoarding at least funds more teams.

Answer

That Scrum Teams should ignore finance and build the shared product in secret.

Answer

That each department needs its own Product Owner solely to contest invoices.
