The most comprehensive bank Interview Answer Review tooling available online.

To earn trust within a team, I believe it’s important to start with a small, achievable task and deliver a high-quality result on time. Once I’ve proven that I can deliver reliably, I gradually take on more complex tasks, building credibility along the way.

Equally important is asking the right questions and actively participating as a team member. At XYZ, when I joined a new team, I gained trust by ensuring that we only committed to tasks we could realistically deliver. Once we met our goals, I took the initiative to showcase our accomplishments to leadership, highlighting the team’s impact and visibility.

By consistently delivering results and advocating for the team, I was able to earn the trust of both my teammates and leadership.

During my career I manage a large number of projects, but one of the most challenging ones was the development and launch of a Telematic Control Unit for an important car maker in Japan. The project is important to me due to technical challenges we faced, the skills I applied and the impact on the company.

As Program manager my role was to lead a cross-functional team including Design Engineers, SW Engineers, Operations teams, Material procurement teams, quality and logistics, among others to successfully launch the product to mass production.

First, I kicked-off the project. For that, I shared with the team the project scope, the goals to achieve, I shared the project plan with key milestones and defined the roles and responsibilities for the different team members.

During execution, to maintain a clear communication, I set up design review sessions with the entire engineering organization to ensure everyone was aligned and fixing potential issues in advance. Besides, I led a weekly core-team meeting where we assigned tasks to team members, and setting clear deadlines for each task. To make these tasks easier to manage, I made sure tasks were broken down into manageable sizes with clear descriptions and acceptance criteria. This helped the team to stay focus on their deliveries and maintain speed.

Another important part was to manages Risks. I worked with the team to identify and classify possible risk that might impact to the project deliverables. We defined a Risk matrix to monitor during the development process, and also a project board with the main KPIs to achieve during each stage of the project.

To ensure quality, we defined different testing processes focused on the design, and the process. We installed specific quality check for the documents and devices delivered for each of the milestones of the PDP, as well as a clear quality control in mass production.

Finally, for transparency, I reported on monthly basis to our company leaders and customer about the project status, focusing on Timing, cost, quality and scope.

By employing these strategies, we successfully launched our module on time matching with all the requirements defined by our customer. This was a great example of teamworking, and taught me the importance of breaking down large projects into smaller and easy to manage pieces. Transparent and clear communication was also a great lesson learned. This approach helped me to improve in leading teams through complex problems.

Following Answer is written in short answer format. Actual conversation done would of course be much more plosihed and structured.

Use sandwich method. Highlight positive points and then come to improvement points.

Set the expectations clearly for their role, Provide examples wherever needed. For junior roles it will be more specific and for senior roles it can be slightly open ended.

Take actual examples, Be data oriented in the conversation rather than giving opinion that lack the foundation.

Highlight between what happened vs what could have been a better path.

listen throughly with an intent of improvement and not make it about mistakes and what they did wrong.

Listen and help the them identify what approach changes are required.

In the end highlight the points existing string points again and end the conversation with action items

The last conference I attended was the Open Source Security Foundation. As I was leading the Dart & Flutter security program I wanted to learn about the innovations, tooling and services that other open source projects were using.

There were interesting conferences for tooling to sign artifacts with a single command and how the open source community was working in tooling to build, sign and release artifacts in a secure way for everyone using GitHub.

I learned that there were many technical innovations that I could use to speed up the Flutter Security Program, for example implementing secure build workflows using github actions. I also met several people working on similar projects and took the opportunity to share our lessons learned and challenges. Later on the connections with the open source security foundation proved very useful during technical reviews and collaborations.
