The city housing-voucher ART considers cutting the RTE role to save cost and letting Product Managers run the train. Why is a dedicated RTE still warranted?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Product Management already has a full job: what the voucher system should do. The RTE's job is how the train plans, syncs, and improves. Fold those into one person and events, impediments, and coaching usually get dropped while the backlog still screams.
Full Explanation
Product Management leads content, vision, and prioritization. The RTE leads facilitation of ART events, coaching, and the delivery system. Combining them under cost pressure typically starves cadence, dependency management, and impediment removal. Business value assignment belongs to Business Owners, not the RTE, and no municipal statute converts the RTE into a required PMO title.
