Stakeholder Requirements and Communication Questions
Skills for eliciting, synthesizing, and communicating requirements across diverse stakeholders, with an emphasis on translating specialized compliance and regulatory obligations into language and priorities that non compliance stakeholders understand. Candidates should demonstrate techniques for running one on one interviews and group workshops, managing different technical fluency levels and communication styles, reconciling conflicting priorities, and framing compliance tradeoffs in terms of business impact, financial implications, operational burden, and customer experience. Assessments will focus on concrete approaches to gather complete requirements, influence business owners, negotiate pragmatic solutions, and ensure alignment between legal, compliance, and engineering teams.
