A Product Owner candidate for the municipal transit-fare product treats the city's framed mission poster ("Serve every resident with integrity") as the Product Vision. What distinction should the hiring panel insist on?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A city mission poster is the whole city's "why we exist." A fare product still needs its own picture — maybe riders tap once and go, without a window line. Hanging the poster on the backlog does not tell the team which rider outcome to chase this year.
Full Explanation
Enterprise mission expresses organization-wide purpose. Product Vision is specific: who the product serves, what change in their experience matters, and how the product will be judged. Treating the mission poster as the fare product's vision leaves ordering unconstrained and uninspectable. Sprint Goals and backlog items then have no product-level story to align with, which is a Product Ownership failure rather than a branding one.
