Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Managing a Failed Project Pivot. 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 (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You are reflecting on a project that did not go as planned and either failed outright or had to be significantly re-scoped, re-timed, or redirected after new information emerged. The challenge is not just what went wrong, but how you handled the pivot: aligning stakeholders, resetting expectations, and deciding what to preserve versus cut.
Tell me about a project that failed or had to be heavily pivoted. What was your role in managing the change?
