Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Prioritize Work Under Resource Constraints. 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 the Engineering Manager for a B2B distribution platform. Three high-visibility requests land in the same quarter: a customer-facing order-status improvement, a warehouse workflow automation, and a reliability fix for recurring checkout errors. You have fewer engineers than planned, one senior developer is split across two teams, and leadership wants all three delivered quickly because each request has a different sponsor and business case. The challenge is not identifying the best idea in isolation, but deciding what to do first, what to defer, and how to explain the trade-offs without losing trust.
How do you prioritize projects when resources are constrained?
