A curbside-parking pilot is called citywide-ready because a council aide liked it. What should the Product Owner do before rollout?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One aide liking a parking pilot is a compliment at a ribbon cutting, not a citywide dataset. Weak evidence is still evidence — it just is not enough to bet every curb on. Get stronger measures of whether the pilot actually worked, then scale.
Full Explanation
Evidence has different strengths; anecdotes and individual enthusiasm are weak compared with outcome measures, usage, and repeatable results. Scaling a curbside-parking pilot citywide on a council aide's opinion treats weak evidence as proof and invites costly reversal. The Product Owner should gather stronger measures before rollout rather than racing Unrealized Value, promoting the anecdote into a Strategic Goal, or blocking further measurement. Empiricism before scale is the EBM move.
