City council adopts climate resilience as the top strategy. The flooding-alert Product Owner still orders work around a legacy newsletter open-rate goal. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If city hall just said climate resilience is the main course, do not keep plating newsletter garnish. Flood warnings that reach the neighborhoods that flood are the strategy now. Open rates on an old blast are a leftover KPI, not a compass.
Full Explanation
Product strategy and Product Backlog bets should map to organizational strategy. When the city shifts to climate resilience, the flooding-alert product must reorder toward outcomes such as timely warnings for at-risk areas rather than vanity engagement on a legacy newsletter. Keeping an already-instrumented metric, waiting for a multi-year IT plan, or splitting ownership avoids the realignment. The Product Owner connects product choices to the new strategy so capacity follows the city's declared bet.
