How would you use a journey map to find technical root causes?
WHAT IT TESTS: Turning UX pain points into backend architecture and root-cause investigations. ANSWER OUTLINE: Map journey stages to logs and traces, find bottlenecks, propose API or data model changes. RED FLAG: UI-only fixes or ignoring telemetry.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you translate qualitative journey maps into architecture decisions rather than cosmetic fixes. ANSWER OUTLINE: First, validate pain points with telemetry and traces. Second, map the stage to backend services and data flows to find bottlenecks. Third, identify root causes like N+1 queries or blocking calls. Finally, propose system changes such as async processing or circuit breakers. RED FLAG: Offering only frontend fixes or skipping production metrics.
