A mayor's office presents a two-year feature roadmap for a parks-permitting product with no hypothesized outcomes, measures, or Key Value Area links. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A feature list with no 'so that' is a shopping list, not a strategy. Evidence-Based Management asks what should get better and how you will know — not which screens are promised for two years. The Product Owner's job is to push back, not to copy the list into the backlog and call it a Product Goal.
Full Explanation
Under EBM, plans are hypotheses about value that must connect to goals and measures. A two-year parks-permitting feature roadmap with no outcomes, measures, or Key Value Area links cannot be inspected empirically. The Product Owner should challenge it and recast work as goals plus experiments rather than treating the list as the Product Goal, a scaled-increment promise, or an official mandate. Letterhead does not create evidence.
