Mid-PI, a county elections systems ART dashboard shows only feature completion percentages, and nobody can say which PI Objectives are on track. What should the RTE emphasize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Percent-done on features is a fuel gauge. PI Objectives say whether you are actually headed to the polling place. Elections leaders need both, and the destination matters more than the gallon count.
Full Explanation
During PI execution the ART tracks progress against PI Objectives, not only feature percent complete. When a county elections systems dashboard shows only feature completion percentages and nobody can say which PI Objectives are on track, the RTE should emphasize objective-based progress so Business Owners see outcome risk. Replacing PI Objectives with a single earned-value curve for the elections program collapses outcome diversity into one finance-style metric. Hiding feature status entirely so teams never discuss remaining work removes useful delivery signal; features still matter as supporting detail. Counting closed tickets only because stakeholders supposedly do not understand objectives trains the ART to optimize churn instead of election-system outcomes. Election administrators and the public need to know which election-system outcomes are at risk, not only how many features look partially complete. Exam caveat: feature status can support objective tracking—it is complementary data, not a substitute for objective attainment. Operational check: update the elections ART dashboard to show each PI Objective as on-track, at-risk, or done, with feature percent as secondary detail. Walk Business Owners through at-risk objectives weekly so civic election readiness stays the conversation, not vanity completion.
