Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role type to your question: administrators and developers are best for configuration and maintenance detail, while product owners and architects can speak to roadmap, design and cross-team trade-offs. Also weigh how recently each person worked hands-on in CPQ, since a current title may differ from the role that makes them relevant.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02Which product catalog or bundle design choices made quoting harder to maintain over time, and how would you structure them today?
- 03Which approval, amendment or renewal scenarios caused the most issues after go-live, and how did you resolve them?
