Planning, Fire, and Public Works each want their own concurrent Product Vision for the city's single building-permit portal. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One product is one street map — two maps at once just send people down different roads. The permit portal needs a single coherent vision, not a stack of department slogans. Departments can still bring needs; those needs get ordered against one direction.
Full Explanation
A coherent Product Vision is what makes one Product Backlog explainable for one product. Concurrent visions for the same permit portal turn ordering into a political contest and hide opportunity cost. The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of that product, which requires a shared direction stakeholders can inspect. Departmental interests remain inputs; they do not each get a competing vision.
