Explanation
The best strategy for the Product Owner in this situation would be to improve the team's innovation capacity by identifying and eliminating waste that contributes to high cost ratios and long release cycles.
This approach is aligned with the principles of the Evidence-Based Management Guide, which highlights the importance of optimizing innovation capacity to maximize the value delivered. By focusing on identifying and eliminating waste, the Product Owner can reduce production costs, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the time needed to implement features.
Using agile practices such as regular inspection, continuous adaptation, and process optimization will help improve the team's Ability To Innovate effectively. A focus on reducing cycle time and reducing unnecessary costs will enable the team to deliver features faster while maximizing value for the organization.
