Tell me about a time you wouldn’t compromise on achieving a great outcome when others felt something was good enough. What was the situation?


At Northrop Grumman, we have a project that we’ve been working on for a while. We built a solid automation framework and pipeline so we were able to identify issues and get bugs fixed very quickly. Each team members have their focus area. We are ahead of schedule and everyone was feeling good about it.

About two days before we do the demo to the General of the air force, I suggested that we switch the area, and then see if we can find any edge cases that we may have missed. Everyone thought it was already good enough since we’ve been doing a lot of work on it, but I explained that if we have extra time, then we should take advantage of that, and then see if there are any spots that we may have missed.

Everyone was on board after that. In the end, we did not find unknown edge cases, but we got even more confident in our product demo.


套用:因為情況比較特別 所以不太好直接套用 但可以轉一下思路 把公司名字跟產品換掉 把跟團隊隊員的爭議換在unit test的復蓋比例上面 80%很好 但是可以更好

ST: 每個同事對即將要跟空軍將軍展示的產品很有信心 而且在時間上提前了許多

A: 提前完成不應該放鬆 因為要看有沒有什麼邊緣案例沒注意到 帶動團隊一起動作

S: 最後沒發現任何邊緣案例 但是團隊們對整體的產品展示更有信心
