When the Product Owner is too busy to work with all of the teams in a multi-team product

development effort, which strategy will help them?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. They are also accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes clearly expressing Product Backlog items, ordering them to best achieve goals and missions, ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood. The Product Owner may do the above work or may delegate the responsibility to others.However, the Product Owner remains accountable1.

When working with multiple Scrum Teams on the same product, the Product Owner should ensure that there is a shared understanding of the Product Goal among all the teams and stakeholders. The Product Goal is the long-term objective for the Scrum Team.They must fulfill (or abandon) one objective before taking on the next2. The Product Owner should also collaborate with the Developers to create and refine Product Backlog items that are valuable, feasible, and testable.The Developers are accountable for creating a plan for the Sprint, the Sprint Backlog1. The Product Owner should trust the Developers to self-organize and deliver the most valuable increments possible.

The other options are not recommended strategies for the Product Owner, as they may introduce unnecessary complexity, confusion, and waste. Adding component team Product Owners, enlisting the Program Management Office, or assigning sub-Product Owners may create silos, dependencies, and conflicts among the teams and stakeholders. These roles may also undermine the authority and accountability of the Product Owner, and reduce the transparency and alignment of the Product Backlog.The Product Owner should work with the Scrum Master and the Developers to find ways to optimize the value delivery and collaboration across the teams, rather than creating intermediaries or proxies34.Reference:1:Scrum Guide2:Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework3:Managing Products with Agility4:Evolving the Agile Organization

Okay, I've got this. The key is to find a way to distribute the Product Owner's workload while still maintaining clear product direction. I think option B looks like the best approach.

Ah, I see. The key here is that the ports need to match, but the data types don't have to be identical. That makes sense, I'll go with option B.

Based on the information provided, I think the answer is the Printer Selections page. That seems like the most logical place to configure the user, report, and printer combination to ensure the purchase orders automatically print to the cloud-based printer. I'll double-check my work, but I'm fairly confident in this response.
