Your organization has two Scrum Teams working on the same product. The business wants one team to focus on new feature development and the other to focus exclusively on bug fixes and technical debt. As the single Product Owner accountable for the entire product, what is the BEST response?

Accept the split — two teams with different missions increases organizational efficiency and team specialization. Reject the split entirely and insist both teams work on whatever the Product Backlog ordering dictates each Sprint. Explain that splitting the product into isolated streams creates handoff risk, reduces flexibility, and may slow delivery of the highest-value work; advocate instead for a single ordered Product Backlog where both teams pull from the same priority stack, with technical debt and features interleaved by value and risk. Delegate the feature backlog to one team's proxy PO and the bug backlog to another proxy PO so both streams move faster.

Correct Answer:

Explain that splitting the product into isolated streams creates handoff risk, reduces flexibility, and may slow delivery of the highest-value work; advocate instead for a single ordered Product Backlog where both teams pull from the same priority stack, with technical debt and features interleaved by value and risk.
