"The lack of a decision is also a decision." In this blog, PST Paweł Rola shares insights on decision making in Product Ownership: https://ow.ly/vz7F50WWT07 #Scrum #Agile #ProductOwner
Great insights here. One challenge I’ve often seen with two-way door decisions is that stakeholders can become emotionally attached to their product, expecting success at all costs. But that’s not always realistic, and that’s where empiricism shines. It provides product teams with the space to gather measurable insights and decide whether to iterate, pivot, or let go. Sometimes the best outcome isn’t scaling the first idea, but using what you’ve learned to build something better.
Great read – thanks for sharing! I’ve found the One-Way vs. Two-Way Door distinction especially useful in my own work as a Product Owner (in former days). It helped me avoid overthinking reversible decisions and invest more care in the ones that truly shape the product long-term. This simple lens has made decision-making both faster and more confident in practice.

4dIn the world of product development, the biggest trap is not market complexity but decision-making paralysis. The article about the two types of decisions Product Owners face highlights what I know to be true in agile projects: the distinction between strategic choices that demand caution and experiments that drive rapid innovation and continuous learning. This distinction not only speeds up deliveries but also empowers teams to act confidently with a clear focus on the customer. Those working at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and management understand that smart decisions build not only better products but also stronger teams and businesses that evolve with the market. This is the path to leading with both analytical insight and a human touch in the era of digital transformation.
