How to approach it

Demonstrate that you can push back respectfully. Explain how you raised your concern with evidence, listened to their reasoning and supported the final decision — even if it didn't go your way.

Example answer

"My manager wanted to launch a feature before we'd finished load testing. I shared data from a previous incident and proposed a smaller, staged rollout to 10% of users instead. She explained the commercial pressure behind the date, so we agreed on the staged rollout with extra monitoring. We caught a memory issue at 10% that would have hit everyone, and staged rollouts became our default."
