Varun's response is vague and lacks detail regarding his specific actions as a liaison between developers and functional team members. While he mentions a structured approach and the importance of meeting business objectives, he does not provide concrete examples or explain how he facilitated communication and collaboration. The benchmark response is comprehensive and clearly outlines the steps taken to ensure effective collaboration, including organizing kickoff meetings, regular check-ins, and maintaining shared documentation. To improve, Varun should provide a more detailed account of his role, including specific strategies he employed to bridge the gap between technical and business perspectives. For instance, he could say, "In a project for an e-commerce platform, I organized kickoff meetings to align developers and business stakeholders on project goals and facilitated regular check-ins to address any challenges."
