This is an opening or general question a Google interviewer will ask to begin a conversation, get you talking, find out a little more about you, and collect information they can use for subsequent questions. They are also interested in learning whether the processes you use align with those of Google. The best way to prepare for this type of question is to research the organization, its software development processes, and the tools it uses. You can learn this from the Google website, the job description, or by speaking with former and current Google software development team members.

"The software development process I use the most is the same one I learned early in my career. It begins with a rediscovery process and requirement analysis, which leads to the specifications and software architecture. I then move on to development, testing, implementation, and documentation. After this is done and the software is fully developed, my attention turns to training the Google users, assisting the support team to be prepared to respond to issues, and providing ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and upgrades."
