A health-department vaccine-booking release is being forecast using only an optimistic best-case velocity. What should the Product Owner correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Best-case velocity is the one sunny day you remember from a rainy month. Vaccine booking needs the median weather, plus the risks you already know. Celebration dates and stretch goals do not put more appointments on the calendar.
Full Explanation
Optimism bias in forecasting substitutes a hoped-for pace for evidence. Historical medians and known risks produce an inspectable outlook; public celebration dates, stretch goals, and the single fastest Sprint all encode the same bias. For a health-department booking product, an overstated date is not motivational — it is an operational and public-trust failure waiting to happen. The Product Owner corrects the model before the board of health treats fiction as a plan.
