Sample Answer
Situation: At my last company, inbound analytics requests came via email/Slack, causing 10+ day backlogs and duplicated work. Task: I needed to reduce cycle time and improve transparency without adding headcount. Action: I interviewed 12 stakeholders, mapped the current flow in Miro, and defined a standard intake form in Jira Service Management with required fields (business goal, data sources, deadline). I implemented triage SLAs (24h) and a simple RACI for approvals. We piloted with Marketing for 4 weeks, iterating based on weekly feedback, then rolled out company-wide with a 30-minute Loom training. Result: Median turnaround dropped from 11 days to 4 days (64% faster), request rework fell by 40%, and stakeholder CSAT (quarterly survey) rose from 3.2 to 4.5/5.
