Blocker vs. Impediment: How do you escalate an impediment?
This tests your proactivity in removing systemic friction. Define a blocker (full stop) vs. an impediment (drag). Explain how you surface impediments in retros, track them in a backlog, and escalate systemic issues to leadership.
This tests your proactivity in removing systemic friction, not just tactical roadblocks. A great answer defines a blocker as a full stop (broken environment) and an impediment as a persistent drag (unclear requirements). Then, outline a process: surface impediments in retros, create and prioritize an impediment backlog, and escalate systemic issues to leadership. A red flag is using the terms interchangeably or having no process beyond the Daily Scrum.
