During budgeting, a council member funds a ceremonial city-history game by claiming it aligns with the permitting portal's Product Vision of faster, clearer permits. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Slapping a permit-portal vision on a history game is putting a library stamp on a carnival ticket. If it does not make permits faster or clearer, it is a different product. Say so before the budget pretends otherwise.
Full Explanation
Product Vision is a funding and ordering filter, not a slogan that can bless unrelated pet projects. The Product Owner should make the misalignment transparent and refuse to treat the game as progress toward the permitting outcome. Political convenience that inflates the Product Backlog with off-vision work destroys focus and later inspection. A separate product or explicit non-goal is honest; a fake alignment is not.
