Council aides complain they never see the 311 Product Backlog and therefore cannot approve changes. They propose a change-control board that must vote on every reorder. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Transparency is a glass case, not a voting booth. Let aides see the 311 backlog so they can inspect it; do not hand them a gavel for every reorder. Two editable lists just restart the fight in PowerPoint.
Full Explanation
Stakeholders should be able to inspect the Product Backlog; that transparency is how they understand trade-offs. Inspection is not the same as a change-control committee that votes on order. The Product Owner remains accountable for content and order even when the backlog is visible. Hiding it, duplicating it, or requiring a board vote on each change destroys empiricism and splits ownership.
