Sample Answer
In a policy admin upgrade for commercial lines, we were halfway through build when the regulator updated rules on catastrophe exposure. That change hit both our rating logic and an integration with a third‑party catastrophe modeler. I pulled together underwriting, architecture, and the vendor on a 2‑hour impact workshop, walked through our existing decision tables and sequence diagrams, and identified 14 affected rules and 3 interfaces. I then updated the BRD, rule catalog, and integration specs in Confluence, and revised the BPMN flows and data mappings so developers had a single, current source. We re-estimated the work with the tech lead and added one extra sprint, but avoided a larger slip by de‑scoping two low‑value reports. For QA, I worked with the test lead to add regression scenarios around the new exposure caps and edge cases. Because we communicated the impact within 24 hours and kept everything traceable in JIRA, we absorbed the change without missing the go‑live date.
