What strategies or tools do you recommend for improving collaboration between engineering teams and non-technical departments? We're finding it challenging to align on priorities technical constraints in cross-functional projects.

Usually, we would assign the priority level and inform them in brief, easy to read bullet points why this is a priority, giving out non-technical departments and SOP can make it easier for them to understand the work flow that can't be disrupted, also we usually have a bi-weekly or monthly meeting with these departments because sometimes there's issues or reasons to change direction that isn't permeated through a single phone call, email, or text message.

You have to find someone that can translate. There are plenty of people that can and find one to rely on

I think I bombed a case interview with Chartis for an associate consultant position. The case was in excel and required me to manipulate the data via share screen with the interviewer. I couldn’t get some functions to work and was struggling to go through the 16 page PDF of data. I had several answers correct but needed to walk through the remaining questions with some guidance. My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
