Problem

Name a situation where there was a lot of ambiguity. Explain how you made progress when the goals, requirements, stakeholders, or available information were unclear, and describe the outcome. I am looking for a specific example that shows how you defined the problem, identified assumptions, prioritized what mattered most, and kept others aligned while the situation evolved. Focus on your individual actions, the tradeoffs you made, how you handled changing information, and what you learned. A strong response should use the STAR structure and include a concrete result rather than general statements about being comfortable with uncertainty.
