Problem

Describe a time you had to pivot your research approach due to unexpected constraints.

Explain what changed, such as limited participant access, a shortened timeline, budget restrictions, or a technology limitation. Walk through how you evaluated alternatives, aligned stakeholders, protected research quality, and communicated trade-offs. Focus on your individual decisions, the resulting impact, and what you learned about planning research under uncertainty.
