Response: Certainly! Ensuring that the technical team fully understands the business context and objectives behind the rules is critical for successful implementation. To achieve this, I focus on fostering collaboration and maintaining clear communication between business and technical teams.  

For example, in one project where we were designing a recommendation engine, there was initial misalignment between the business goals of increasing average order value and the technical team’s focus on optimizing algorithm performance. To address this, I organized a series of workshops where we walked through the business objectives, customer pain points, and the expected outcomes of the recommendation engine.  

I used real-world scenarios and data to illustrate how the algorithm’s outputs would directly impact key metrics like conversion rates and revenue. This helped the technical team understand the "why" behind the rules they were implementing.  

When misalignment occurred, such as the technical team prioritizing features that didn’t align with business goals, I facilitated open discussions to realign priorities. For instance, we re-prioritized features based on their impact on business KPIs, ensuring that the technical efforts were focused on delivering maximum value.  

By maintaining a shared understanding of the goals and fostering a collaborative environment, we were able to bridge the gap and ensure the final solution met both business and technical expectations.
