How would you implement an Andon Cord for a software team?
Tests your understanding of CI, team ownership, and balancing speed with quality. Define a trigger (broken main build), an action (halt merges/deploys), and a team response (swarming to fix). Red flag: scheduling the fix or blaming an individual.
This question tests your ability to translate a manufacturing concept into a practical software process, focusing on CI, collective code ownership, and the urgency of a green build. A strong answer outlines a trigger (failed main branch quality gate), a technical effect (blocking merges/deploys), and a cultural response (the team swarms to fix it immediately). A red flag is suggesting a workaround, scheduling a future fix, or blaming an individual.
