Tell me about a time in your most recent role when you had to create and maintain a detailed project plan with multiple workstreams and dependencies. How did you structure the plan, and how did you keep it up to date as things changed?

General

Sample Answer

In my most recent role, I owned the rollout of a new internal platform that touched five departments and about 300 end users. I started by breaking the work into clear workstreams: product, engineering, data, change management, and training. I built the plan in a single source of truth (Smartsheet), with epics broken into tasks, each with owners, start/end dates, and dependency links. For example, UAT couldn’t start until data migration hit a 95% completion milestone. To keep it current, I ran 30‑minute weekly cross‑functional standups and a quick mid‑week async check-in in Slack. Any change requests went through a lightweight change log so scope, timing, and impact were visible. I used conditional formatting and simple RAG status to highlight at‑risk tasks and pushed a summarized dashboard to leadership every Friday. That rhythm let us adjust quickly and still launch on time, hitting 92% adoption in the first month.
