How to approach it

Show how you plan and prioritise under pressure. Explain how you broke the work down, what you chose not to do and how you kept stakeholders informed — then share the result.

Example answer

"A regulator brought a compliance deadline forward by three weeks. I listed every requirement, separated must-haves from nice-to-haves and agreed that scope with our product owner the same day. I moved two engineers off a lower-priority project and set up a shared daily tracker so everyone could see progress. We shipped the required changes two days early, then delivered the remaining items in the following sprint."
