Budget staff ask the recreation-booking Product Owner for a five-year feature roadmap as the product's strategy—month-by-month screens and reports. What should the Product Owner offer instead?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A five-year list of screens is a grocery receipt, not a strategy. Parks still need a direction—who gets on a field, what outcome moves—plus next month's ordered work. Themes and goals can be inspected; a frozen feature novel cannot.
Full Explanation
Strategy is expressed as themes and outcome goals, not as a five-year feature contract. Detailed Product Backlog items belong near the top; far-horizon work should remain flexible as evidence arrives. A locked date-by-date recreation roadmap, a vendor Gantt, or a promise to ship every report pretends uncertainty does not exist. The Product Owner should fund and communicate inspectable outcomes while keeping near-term order empirical.
