Question 1

Two stakeholders give conflicting requirements. How would you resolve the conflict?

Accepted Answer

I would first clarify whether the conflict is about business goals, user needs, constraints, or solution preference. Then I would bring the stakeholders back to shared objectives and decision criteria such as customer impact, risk, cost, compliance, or operational effort. If needed, I would document options and tradeoffs and ask the right decision maker to approve the requirement direction.

Question 2

How would you prioritize requirements when the team cannot build everything?

Accepted Answer

I would use agreed criteria such as business value, user impact, risk reduction, compliance need, implementation effort, and dependency impact. I would separate must-have requirements from nice-to-have items and explain the tradeoffs clearly. The goal is not to remove valuable ideas, but to choose the most important scope for the next release or milestone.
