How do you prioritize features for your engineering team?

Focus on your decision-making process when it comes to prioritizing features. Discuss the criteria you use, such as user impact, business value, technical feasibility, and alignment with company goals. Be prepared to provide specific examples from your past experience where you had to balance competing priorities and how you communicated those decisions to your team. Highlight any frameworks or tools you’ve used, like the MoSCoW method or RICE scoring, and how they influenced your prioritization. Finally, reflect on how you handle pushback from stakeholders and ensure alignment across teams.
