- Not X, but Y: It's not about the feature; it's about the narrative around its value to enterprises.
- Scene Setting: In a 2023 debrief, a candidate failed for focusing solely on the feature's technical specs, ignoring the business value proposition.
## How Does Miro Assess Product Marketing Strategy?

## Can You Share a Scenario-Based Question with Answers?
Direct Answer:
- Question: "Miro's premium feature adoption is lagging among small businesses. Propose a 3-month turnaround strategy."
