Welcome to your interview for the Business Analyst role at Fast Enterprises.
The question is on your right: Manage Risk on Engineering Projects. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen. You have three graded attempts to score 7/10 or better.
You are the Engineering Manager for a hospital-facing software initiative that must ship a patient intake workflow update before a scheduled operational change. The work touches a clinician-facing web surface, an internal support workflow, and a downstream integration that cannot be broken without delaying patient registration. The product owner wants to preserve scope, the operations team is pushing for a hard launch date, and the support team is worried about call volume if anything is unclear. You have to keep the project moving while identifying the biggest delivery risks early enough to act on them.
How do you approach risk management on engineering projects?
