How do you communicate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders?

Short answer: I avoid jargon and focus on the impact. For example, when we chose to implement server-side caching using Redis, I explained it to the product owner as “improving response times for users and reducing load on our database.” I often use analogies or quick visuals—like diagrams—to bridge the gap. If they understand the “why” behind a decision, they’re usually fully supportive.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
