Problem

Scenario

You’re leading product execution for several important initiatives at once, and each has a credible case for being the top priority. One effort improves rider pickup reliability in the Waymo app, another reduces operational load in the fleet support workflow, and a third addresses a safety-related issue raised by leadership after a recent incident review. Resources are limited, timelines overlap, and different stakeholders are pushing for different outcomes.

Question

Tell me about a time you had to prioritize among multiple important initiatives. How did you decide what to do first, what to defer, and how did you align stakeholders around the trade-offs?
