Actual exam question for Scrum's PSPO-II exam
Question #: 38
Topic #: 3
[All PSPO-II Questions]

You are a Product Owner for a product that publishes customer usage rates by feature.

An influential stakeholder does not believe the data showing the usage rates, and insists that a

particular feature is essential, despite data showing low usage rates. The stakeholder believes

that measuring feature usage is a waste of time.

As Product Owner you have confirmed that the data is accurate and believe that the data is

valuable to help you and your team. What should you do?

(choose the best answer)

Suggested Answer: B

: As a Product Owner, you are accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Scrum Team. To do this, you need to have a clear understanding of the product vision, the product value, and the product backlog management. Measuring feature usage is one way to gather empirical evidence of the value delivered by the product and the feedback from the customers and users. This data can help you validate or invalidate your assumptions, prioritize the product backlog items, and inspect and adapt the product strategy. Therefore, measuring feature usage is not a waste of time, but a valuable practice for agile product management.

Moreover, as a Product Owner, you are also responsible for engaging with the stakeholders and customers, and providing them with transparency and openness. This means that you should share the data and the insights you gain from it with them, and invite them to collaborate with you and the Scrum Team. This can help you build trust and alignment, and foster a culture of experimentation and learning. Therefore, you should not hide the data or stop measuring it, but rather use it as a basis for constructive dialogue and decision making.

Haha, the stakeholder must be living in the dark ages if they think measuring usage is a waste of time.

C) What? No way, that's just giving in to the stakeholder's demands. Stick to the data!

I feel conflicted about this. On one hand, I get that we need to respect the stakeholder, but option C seems like a bad move. We need data to guide us!

This reminds me of a case study we did where data was ignored. I think we should stick to the facts, so B seems like the right choice.

I'm not sure if publishing the data will really change the stakeholder's mind. Maybe option A is safer, but it feels like we're hiding something.

Option C is a non-starter. Giving in to the stakeholder's demands and stopping the data collection would be a huge mistake. Gotta stick to the facts here.

Definitely go with option B. Being transparent with the data is the right thing to do, even if it's uncomfortable. The stakeholder needs to understand that the data is valuable for making informed decisions.

I remember discussing the importance of transparency in our Agile training. I think option B makes sense because it aligns with that principle.

I think I'd start by really trying to understand where the stakeholder is coming from. Maybe there's a way to address their concerns without compromising the data. But ultimately, the right call is to keep measuring and publishing - the data is too important.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The data seems pretty clear, but I can see how the stakeholder might not trust it. Maybe I'd try to find a compromise, like continuing to measure but not publishing the full data.

This is a tricky one. I'd want to really understand the stakeholder's perspective and see if there's any way to address their concerns about the data.
