Show ability to think strategically about product direction by connecting research insights and design thinking to product vision and business objectives. Discuss how research should be integrated in the product development lifecycle, how design influences roadmaps, how to validate opportunities and reduce product risk, and examples of influencing product direction through research or design. Interviewers assess ability to link user insights to strategic product decisions and collaborate cross functionally to shape long term product outcomes.
