Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Define Success for an Engineering Team. 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.
You are the Engineering Manager for a product engineering team that is starting a new quarter. The team supports a customer-facing messaging platform, and leadership wants clearer goals so progress can be reviewed consistently without turning every update into a debate about priorities. Product wants faster feature delivery, Support wants fewer escalations, and your engineering peers want more time for reliability work.
What’s your approach to setting goals for an engineering team?
