Problem

How would you handle a situation where two different groups needed your work but you had limited resources and you couldn't satisfy both?

Explain how you would clarify each group’s objective, assess business impact and urgency, compare dependencies and risks, and make a transparent prioritization decision. Describe how you would communicate the trade-off, document the decision, and create a contingency plan for the deferred work.
