What would you do if a key feature you were developing was deemed unnecessary by upper management?

This question assesses your adaptability and your ability to navigate changes in business priorities. It tests how you handle conflict and your willingness to pivot based on feedback.

Explain how you would first seek to understand the rationale behind the decision, then collaborate with your team to reassign efforts or propose alternatives. For example, 'I would arrange a meeting to discuss management's concerns and suggest focusing our resources on user-requested features instead.'
