Parks, Public Works, and the mayor’s office each want their own Product Owner with a vote on one parks-reservation product. What should be reinforced?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Three Product Owners with votes is just a committee wearing name tags. One product gets one Product Owner who can actually order the parks-reservation backlog. Stakeholders can advise; they do not get a veto round-robin.
Full Explanation
For one product there is one Product Owner accountability and one Product Backlog. Multiple “voting” Product Owners diffuse authority so no one can maximize value or be accountable for order. Department-split backlogs and title inflation recreate the same problem. Stakeholders from Parks, Public Works, and the mayor’s office influence through the single Product Owner, not by replacing that accountability with a vote.
