How do you handle a situation where a technical lead disagrees with your proposed project timeline?
Explain how you would understand the lead's concerns, evaluate the technical and business trade-offs, and work toward an aligned plan. The interviewer is assessing conflict resolution, influence without authority, prioritization, and ownership. Address how you would respond if the timeline needed to change, how you would communicate risks to stakeholders, and how you would maintain trust while holding the team accountable. Use a specific past example where possible, structure your answer with STAR, and include the outcome and what you learned.
