How does a self-managing team handle technical disagreements?

This tests your ability to facilitate productive conflict, turning disagreement into collaborative tension. A great answer outlines a process: first, map the conflict to separate people from problems; second, use a structured method like timebox-driven dialogue or multi-voting with reasoning to explore options; finally, focus on integrating perspectives rather than just picking a winner. A red flag is defaulting to authority ('the lead decides') or avoiding the conflict entirely.
