The mayor's office wants a splashy launch day for a public-health vaccination dashboard. Evidence from a quiet pilot says the data model is still wrong and a big-bang go-live would mislead residents. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A ribbon-cutting is not a data model. If the vaccine dashboard would still lie to residents, do not blow the plaza speakers. Let comms tell a true progress story while the product keeps iterating—politics can have a headline without a big-bang dump.
Full Explanation
Political communications strategy and product delivery strategy are separable. A splashy launch must not force unsafe big-bang scope when evidence shows the vaccination dashboard would mislead. The Product Owner should negotiate how progress is announced—pilots, slices, caveats—while keeping delivery empirical. Silence until perfection, plaza-driven dates, or handing the backlog to Communications all collapse that distinction.
