Problem

How do you handle ambiguous customer scenarios where requirements shift mid-conversation?

Explain how you clarify the underlying need, distinguish essential requirements from preferences, and keep the conversation productive when the customer changes direction. Focus on a specific past example, your decisions, how you communicated trade-offs, and the outcome. We are looking for structured discovery, adaptability, and ownership rather than a generic statement that you simply ask more questions.
