Tell us about a time when there was a miscommunication in your team. How did you resolve it?

Short answer: In one sprint, the frontend dev assumed an API would return detailed user info, but the backend only returned IDs. This wasn't caught until QA testing. I took responsibility, set up a post-mortem, and realized our story grooming didn’t align both sides. Since then, I made API contract documentation mandatory before dev starts. A quick 10-minute API sync is now part of our sprint kickoff.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

Managers care that you communicate early, protect quality, and help the ShopNest team deliver predictably.
