Business Strategy and Alignment Questions

Covers how projects, technical decisions, metrics, and operational governance are connected to an organization's strategic objectives. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to translate high level strategy into executable plans, prioritize initiatives that create measurable business value such as revenue, cost reduction, customer experience, or time to market, and recognize consequences of misalignment. Includes metric governance and dashboard ownership processes, defining metric definitions, assigning owners, managing technical debt in reporting systems, and evolving measurement as priorities change. Interviewers assess business literacy, use of business language when explaining technical trade offs, stakeholder communication, and examples where alignment succeeded or where misalignment created problems.
