The question is on your right: Define Why Before Building. 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. You have three graded attempts to score 7/10 or better.

Only Submit answer is graded - discussion is free practice.

Problem

Scenario

Your team is discussing a new feature and there is pressure to start building quickly. Before committing engineering time, you want to be clear on the user problem, the expected outcome, and why this feature matters.

Question

How do you think about the why behind a feature before your team starts building it?

What This Tests

  • Can you identify the underlying user need before discussing solutions?
  • Can you frame the feature using a Job to Be Done?
  • Can you decide whether the idea is worth prioritizing?
  • Can you define success criteria before engineering starts?
