Questions about this pod

Scope before assumptions.

Who owns technical decisions?+

Decision rights are agreed during scope design. Client technical owners normally retain product, architecture and release authority.

Is this fixed-scope software development?+

The pod model is intended for recurring embedded capability. A separately defined project may be appropriate for a one-time deliverable.

Can a pod include different technical roles?+

Yes. The role mix should follow the backlog, systems and review capability available on the client side.
