Pipeline is green but lead time grows. Three areas to investigate?
This tests distinguishing pipeline health from delivery flow efficiency. A strong answer targets pre-merge wait states, slow green pipeline stages, and post-merge deployment friction, using time-in-stage metrics.
This tests separating build pass rates from value stream velocity and identifying wait states versus active work. A strong answer investigates three areas: pre-merge queue time such as code review latency and approval backlogs; in-pipeline duration where green tests run slowly due to sequential stages or heavy integration suites; and post-pipeline deployment friction like release batching, manual gates, or slow canary analysis. Validate with commit-to-merge time, per-stage pipeline duration, and merge-to-production interval.
