Walk me through the last BRD you wrote — how did you structure it?

Framework
clarify → structure → prioritise → decide → measure
Model answer
Frame it in six blocks — executive summary, business context, in/out of scope, functional and non-functional requirements, assumptions, and acceptance criteria — then tell the interviewer which trade-off you were solving.
What great candidates actually do
- Open with the business problem in one sentence — not the solution.
- Name stakeholders and the decision each one owns.
- Distinguish functional requirements from non-functional (SLA, security, compliance).
- Every requirement has a measurable acceptance criterion.
- Close with what's OUT of scope — this is what senior BAs do differently.
Traps to avoid
- Naming the solution before the problem — always restate the goal in one sentence first.
- Answering without structure — pick a framework out loud, then execute it.
- Skipping the trade-off — every strong answer names what you would NOT do and why.
