Design a scalable documentation system for three engineering teams
Tests prioritization and process design for a sole writer supporting three engineering teams. Strong answers use tiered intake with SLAs, a public Kanban board, and async status updates. Red flag: ad-hoc prioritization through Slack DMs with no queue.
Tests whether you can design an operational system that scales a single writer across three engineering teams without becoming a bottleneck. A strong answer outlines a tiered intake form that classifies requests by urgency and scope, applies SLAs per tier, routes work through a visible Kanban or docs-as-code project board, and uses automated or async status updates to keep teams aligned. Red flag: proposing to handle prioritization through direct messages or meetings, which collapses under load and hides tradeoffs from stakeholders.
