The transit Product Owner must order a safety-critical crossing-alert defect against a convenience enhancement that adds favorite-stop shortcuts. How should cost of delay inform the decision?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Cost of delay asks what waiting costs every day. A broken crossing alert racks up real harm; a favorite-stop shortcut mostly racks up sighs. When the daily bill is safety, that fix jumps the line.
Full Explanation
Cost of delay is a value-ordering lens: the longer an item waits, the more benefit is lost or harm is incurred. A safety-critical transit defect typically has a higher delay cost than a convenience enhancement, even if the enhancement is more requested. Equal splits and capital-project delays ignore that economics. The Product Owner should make the delay-cost comparison transparent and order accordingly.
