System Decomposition and Scoping Questions

Breaking a product feature or system into clear components, phases, workstreams, and deliverables that teams can execute against. Includes defining scope boundaries, identifying responsibilities, sequencing work, estimating effort at a high level, and mapping interdependencies so that parallel work is possible while limiting integration risk. Interviewers look for how candidates choose decomposition levels and how decomposition informs planning, testing, rollout, and handoffs.
