The public-health department claims a huge records-overhaul project is required for compliance value, but much of the scope is gold-plating beyond the regulation. What should the Product Owner do first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Compliance is a fence, not a palace. Find the smallest outcome that actually meets the rule, ship that, and look again. Gold-plating for the auditors is just a giant project wearing a safety vest.
Full Explanation
Compliance can be real value, but it does not justify maximal scope. The Product Owner should identify the minimal valuable compliant Increment, deliver it, and inspect remaining Unrealized Value and residual risk. A multi-year gold-plated overhaul hides opportunity cost and delays evidence. Rejecting compliance outright is also wrong — constraints still apply inside a citizen-value vision.
