hard · Project Management Professional Adaptive / Agile
Westfork Municipal’s Product Owner (PO) insists on prioritizing a feature with a WSJF of 1.0 over one with WSJF = 9.0 because of a 'political promise'. The PM is concerned about project value.
What should the PM do?
- Accept the PO’s decision without question, as the PO has absolute authority over the backlog, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
- Publicly challenge the PO during the sprint review to ensure stakeholders see the value loss.
- Privately discuss the WSJF data with the PO, emphasizing the accountability to maximize 'Value' and the impact on the business case.
- Inform the Finance Auditor that the PO is violating the project’s strategic alignment.
