Feature teams vs. component teams: pros and cons?
Tests your grasp of how team structure impacts value delivery. Define feature (vertical slice) and component (horizontal) teams. Contrast speed vs. reusability. Red flag: Calling one 'good' and the other 'bad' without discussing trade-offs.
This tests your understanding of how team organization impacts value delivery, dependencies, and engineer autonomy. A great answer defines feature teams (cross-functional, vertical slice) and component teams (tech-focused, horizontal), then contrasts their trade-offs: feature teams optimize for value throughput while component teams focus on robust, reusable parts but can slow delivery due to dependencies. A common red flag is declaring feature teams universally superior without acknowledging the context and trade-offs involved.
