Toward the end of a project, the product owner discovers that the project has a high probability of failure due to a critical feature not functioning as expected. What should the product owner do?
A.
Terminate the project to cut losses
B.
Review possible options and make an informed decision to cut losses based on delivered business value
C.
Bring in experts to increase the probability of success
D.
Continue the project, release the product without the failing feature, and fix the feature in a subsequent release
A. Immediate termination: While cutting losses might seem prudent, it might prematurely discard potential value from the delivered work and may not consider alternative solutions.
C. Bring in experts: While expertise can be helpful, it might be resource-intensive and incur additional costs when the remaining time and budget are limited.
D. Release without the feature: This could significantly impact the product's functionality and value proposition, potentially damaging user experience and brand reputation.
When a critical feature is not functioning as expected and the project is at a high risk of failure, the product owner should review possible options and make an informed decision based on the delivered business value. This could involve evaluating the potential impact of the failing feature on the overall value of the product and deciding whether it's better to cut losses by terminating the project or by making adjustments to salvage the value that has been delivered.
B - correct
D - this would be correct if the project couldn't be at the end. Having in mind that "a critical feature not functioning as expected", there's no time for "subsequent release" to fix this. It is "Toward the end of a project".
I would go with B.
Please note that it is the end of the project (not the end of a sprint). There are no future sprints when a project is ended or has ended. To extend the project you need approvals and budget for senior management, the PO cannot make budget decisions on his own. So, in this situation B is the better answer.
The project is ending and there may be no further release to fix the feature.
