Business Context and Metrics Understanding Questions
Understand the broader business context for technical or operational work and identify relevant performance metrics. This includes recognizing the key performance indicators for different functions, translating technical outcomes into business impact, scoping a problem with success metrics and constraints, and using metrics to prioritize trade offs. Candidates should demonstrate how they would frame a problem in business terms before proposing technical or operational solutions.
