Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Recover a Project Off Track. 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.

Problem

Scenario

You're leading a project that has started to drift from the original plan. A key dependency is late, some work is taking longer than expected, and different stakeholders are reacting differently—one wants to hold the date, another wants to cut scope, and the delivery team is worried about quality if they compress further.

Question

How do you respond when a project does not go exactly as planned?
