After slow delivery on a public-health case-management product, the CIO wants to add three Scrum Teams immediately. Product boundaries with clinic records and lab reporting are still unclear. What should the Product Owner seek first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Adding teams to a blurry product is hiring more cooks before deciding whether this is a diner or a catering hall. That just scales the confusion. Right-size the case-management product and the work first; headcount later.
Full Explanation
Scaling team count without a clear product boundary multiplies dependencies, competing goals, and undone integration. The Product Owner should first clarify what the product is, who it serves, and which public-health outcomes matter, then decide whether more teams would actually increase value. PI Planning, component-team sprawl, or a requirements bureau above the Product Owner do not fix an unclear product. Fake scale looks busy and delivers less.
