Two weeks before PI Planning, the parks reservation and facility ART backlog is stale. What should the RTE do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A stale parks backlog is a readiness problem, not a cue for the RTE to become Product Owner. Coach the people who own content to explore and refine before PI Planning. Writing the stories yourself, or waiting until the two-day event to invent them, both miss the job.
Full Explanation
PI Planning quality depends on a reasonably well-understood, refined backlog and a culture of continuous exploration. The RTE coaches that readiness: prompting Product Management and Product Owners, supporting refinement cadence, and making risks visible if the ART is not ready. Taking the Product Owner role, instituting a change-control board as a substitute, or freezing refinement until the event undermines both role boundaries and planning outcomes.
