Situation: Product needed experimentation dashboard; requirements unclear. Task: Partner to deliver iteratively. Action: I engaged in discovery, proposed 3 options with trade-offs, provided estimates. During build: weekly syncs, incremental delivery. I documented data model and SLAs. Result: Delivered in 6 weeks; product self-serving within 2 weeks.
Red Flag: 'I build what they ask' without discovery. Pro-Move: 'I proposed 3 options with trade-offs; we chose batch-first and shipped in 6 weeks.'
