Problem

Describe a time you had to explain a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder and how you ensured alignment.

Focus on a specific decision, the stakeholder's concerns, and how you translated technical trade-offs into language relevant to their goals. Explain how you checked understanding, handled disagreement or ambiguity, documented the decision, and confirmed follow-through. Strong responses should use the STAR structure and distinguish between simply presenting information and creating genuine alignment.
