Sample Answer
On a CRM integration I led last year, sales pushed for a fast rollout to track leads, compliance insisted on audit trails, and finance demanded exact revenue attribution. I ran a two-day workshop with all 8 stakeholders, started with a data-driven view (we showed current lead-to-revenue leakage of ~$120k/quarter), then used MoSCoW to surface must-haves versus nice-to-haves. I facilitated a decision matrix to quantify impact and effort, and we agreed to a phased approach: deliver the core lead capture and revenue attribution in sprint 1, add detailed audit logs in sprint 2. That cut sign-off time from six weeks to two weeks and reduced back-and-forth change requests by ~60%.

In your resume you note improving or optimizing [a process, KPI, or metric]. What specific baseline metrics did you start from, what steps did you personally take, and how did you verify that the improvement was due to your changes rather than external factors?
In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
