A quick-win one-off report on the public-health inspection app would need weekly babysitting and would crowd out later experiments. What should the Product Owner weigh before saying yes?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A quick win that leaves a baby on the team's doorstep is not a win. If inspectors need a weekly hand-held report, tomorrow's experiments die in the support queue. Weigh the whole bill — including future capacity — before celebrating.
Full Explanation
Near-term output can be net negative when it destroys future capacity to learn and improve. Evidence-Based Management names that capacity Ability to Innovate. The Product Owner must include support burden and lost experimentation in the value assessment, not only whether the one-off fits the Sprint. Ceremony dates and point totals do not capture that long-term cost.
