Sample Answer
On a recent project, I led a small squad of 4 to build a new internal dashboard that pulled data from three legacy services. Halfway through the sprint, product changed the reporting requirements and we also discovered that one of the legacy APIs was undocumented and rate-limited, which kept breaking our integration tests. I took ownership of unblocking the team. I set up a quick working session with the backend owner to reverse‑engineer the API behavior and documented it in Confluence. Then I split the work: one teammate focused on a lightweight caching layer to handle rate limits, another refactored some brittle parsing code, and I handled the new reporting logic plus test coverage. We re-scoped the sprint, communicated the trade‑offs to the PO, and still delivered a usable MVP on time. The dashboard cut manual reporting effort by about 60% for our ops team and became the basis for the next quarter’s enhancements.
