Sample Answer
At my last company, we were seeing a 15% drop‑off during a key onboarding step, but fixing it required alignment across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Support. I didn’t manage any of those teams formally, but I owned the metric. I started by pulling data from product analytics and support tickets to quantify the problem: the drop‑off was costing us about 400 activations a month. I set up a short working group with one representative from each team and shared a one‑page brief with the impact, hypotheses, and a proposed 3‑sprint experiment plan. I made it easy to say yes: I scoped changes so they fit into existing roadmaps, committed to doing the analysis and comms myself, and agreed on a simple success metric: activation rate and ticket volume. In six weeks, activation in that step improved from 85% to 95%, and related tickets dropped by 30%. All four teams opted to keep the working group running for future experiments.
