Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Align Roadmap to Company Goals. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Scenario

You are the Engineering Manager for a product team at a B2B fleet operations platform. Your team owns a roadmap that spans customer-facing features, reliability work, and one major platform refactor. Mid-quarter, leadership updates the company goals after a revenue miss, and sales wants more customer-requested features while product wants to protect a strategic platform bet. Several engineers are already deep into work, and two cross-functional teams depend on your delivery dates.

Question

How do you ensure your team’s roadmap stays aligned with company goals?
