Parks leadership wants Evidence-Based Management evidence for a recreation-booking product to be the number of stakeholder meetings held. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Holding more meetings is like counting how many times you opened the fridge — it is activity, not dinner. Evidence-Based Management wants outcomes: did residents book, wait less, or did the organization get faster at shipping booking value? Meeting tallies make everyone look busy and hide whether the product got better.
Full Explanation
EBM emphasizes evidence of value and of organizational capability, not counts of activities performed. Stakeholder meetings may be useful collaboration, but the number held is not Current Value, Unrealized Value, Time-to-Market, or Ability to Innovate. The Product Owner should substitute outcome and capability measures that map to goals. Inflating meeting volume or parking the numbers on a Scrum Master dashboard preserves activity theater instead of product evidence.
