A two-person skunkworks in the transit bureau shipped a weekend bus-bunching alert that riders actually use. Leadership wants it declared the official disruption product tomorrow without extra staffing or a Definition of Done. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A garage prototype that works is a gift—until you put the whole city on it with two people and no quality bar. Graduation means real staffing and Done, not a press release. Scale the learning, not the duct tape.
Full Explanation
Validated experiments may become strategic products, but only if the organization funds them as products: staffing, support, and a Definition of Done that makes Increments releasable. Declaring the bus-bunching alert official without that bar, leaving it unofficial forever, or cloning an unfinished prototype citywide all skip the quality and capacity step. The Product Owner should propose the graduation conditions explicitly.
