Reason about architecture with engineers
Recall the main items in "Reason about architecture with engineers", then connect each one to the work.
Step 1 of 3
The builder-PM bar this track prepares you for is explicit: navigate a codebase independently and reason through technical architecture with engineers. Not for them, with them. You are a peer in the design conversation.
This is the part of the bar that most often separates builder-PM candidates. You do not need to write the production code. You need to discuss data flow, APIs, latency and failure modes without hand-waving and make scope tradeoffs that an engineer respects.
