I've spent 25 years managing engineers, and the point that stuck with me most is that "it depends" is often the only honest answer to a management question.
I'd also add that many candidates who struggle already have a framework in place, they've just never had to say it out loud and under pressure. Asking them to walk through a few stories is often enough to make their thinking visible.
Great conversation!

Thanks for sharing this.
It definitely always depends :)
