Whiteboard Challenge Starter Kit
Who this kit is for
- Product, UX, and UI designers preparing for product-style whiteboard rounds at tech companies.
- New grads and career switchers who want a repeatable 30-minute structure instead of freezing on a vague prompt.
- Anyone who wants realistic practice prompts, a clarifying-questions list, and a way to score a round after they finish.
What is in the kit
- 30-minute whiteboard challenge framework. A timeboxed structure for a live product design round: clarify, frame the problem, explore options, commit, and leave a clear next step.
- 10 realistic practice prompts. Ambiguous, interview-style prompts you can run on your own or in a WiBo session. Built to feel like the real whiteboard, not a portfolio tutorial.
- Clarifying-questions cheat sheet. The questions interviewers expect early: users, constraints, success, platform, and what is in scope. Use it so you do not freeze on a vague brief.
- Self-evaluation rubric. A 1-to-5 self-score for a finished round: framing, questions, product thinking, communication, and close. Practice only, not a hiring prediction.
- Interview-day checklist. What to set up the night before and the morning of: tools, timing, how you will open, and how you will close.
