In a council briefing on the building-permit portal, an official asks the Product Owner to 'commit the team' to a six-month forecast. How should the Product Owner respond?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Asking the Product Owner to 'commit the team' is like asking the restaurant host to promise how many steaks the kitchen can fire tonight. The cooks know the grill. The Product Owner orders the menu and the outcome; Developers forecast capacity.
Full Explanation
Developers own the forecast of what they can complete because they own creating the Increment. The Product Owner remains accountable for maximizing value through Product Backlog order and the Product Goal. A verbal Product Owner promise that binds the team's capacity creates fake certainty and bypasses self-management. The Product Owner can share a transparent outlook while keeping those accountabilities visible.
