How to structure your technical PM answer
Stay at product-and-systems altitude: translate user needs into requirements, explain the data flow, and make the important engineering trade-offs visible.
- Clarify users, scale, latency, reliability, privacy, and the critical product journey.
- Separate functional requirements from non-functional requirements and prioritize both.
- Describe the main components and data flow without disappearing into implementation detail.
- Discuss bottlenecks, failure recovery, observability, cost, security, and what changes as usage grows.
