Sample Answer
When asked to accelerate a complex dashboard feature for a 12-person product org, I split the scope into an MVP that delivered 70% of value in two weeks and a follow-up for polish. I prioritized end-to-end happy-path, critical edge cases, and instrumentation. To mitigate risk I paired with a QA engineer and wrote focused integration tests (Cypress) for critical flows and lightweight unit tests for key logic, which covered ~80% of risk areas. I also added feature flags and dark-launched the UI to 10% of users, monitoring errors and performance for 48 hours. That approach let us ship on time, with rollback ability, and reduced hotfix rate by 60% compared to previous fast-rollouts.
