Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Recover a Slipping Project. 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 are leading a project that is no longer tracking to its committed timeline. Progress is uneven, some work is blocked, and different stakeholders have different views on whether to add resources, cut scope, or hold the date.

Question

How would you approach a situation where a project is falling behind schedule?
