When is it appropriate for engineering to propose a vision change?
Tests your sense of engineering's strategic boundary: co-creating vision without owning it. Strong answers cite a trigger where tech changes business constraints, outline a 2-week spike on the riskiest assumption, and quantify impact.
Tests if you understand when engineering should reshape product vision rather than just execute it. A strong answer identifies a clear trigger, such as an emerging technology that invalidates a core constraint or unlocks a new market, and frames the proposal as co-creation with product rather than a takeover. It then outlines a focused 2-to-4-week proof-of-concept targeting the single riskiest assumption, paired with a business case translating technical findings into revenue, cost, or speed metrics.
