Context
What was happening, who was the customer or user, and why did the problem matter?
Your ownership
What were you personally responsible for? Separate your decisions from the team’s work.
Decisions
Which options did you consider, what trade-offs did you make, and why?
Evidence
What changed? Use metrics, customer behavior, reliability, revenue, time saved, or adoption.
Hard moment
What went wrong, changed, or created disagreement—and how did you respond?
Reflection
What would you do differently now, and what did the experience teach you?
Your two-minute version
Keep context short. Spend most of the answer on your decisions, the difficult moment, and evidence of the result.
