A transit Product Backlog still carries items for a fare-pilot Product Goal that the city retired last quarter. Stakeholders say to leave them just in case. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A menu still listing last year's specials is how kitchens cook the wrong food. If the fare pilot is dead, those items are clutter, not options. The Product Owner prunes so the list still tells the truth about where the product is going.
Full Explanation
The Product Goal is the commitment for the Product Backlog; items that cannot serve it should be removed or explicitly reconsidered. Keeping obsolete work just in case reduces transparency and invites accidental selection. Multiple Product Goals for leftover wishes dilute focus. Moving stale items into the Sprint Backlog to close them without building them corrupts Done and the Increment.
