Question 1

A Product Owner is asked to create a 'product strategy canvas.' Which element would be OUT OF PLACE on this canvas?

Daily standup notes are operational artifacts, not strategic elements; a strategy canvas captures vision, customers, differentiators, and goals.

Question 2

What does 'outcome-based' product strategy mean for a Product Owner?

Which of the following is an example of a STRATEGIC goal appropriate for a CSPO's product strategy?
