(upbeat music) - Let's see how a candidate might handle this question. I'll be back momentarily with some detailed feedback. - I was asked to work on a high profile project that included collaborating with a new team and tons of people across a larger organization.

It became apparent that this project was going to fail So, I met with various team members and engaged them in a process to design a communication system that would work a lot better. We used an asynchronous project management tool called ASANA and when it was getting done. And we could all update it in real time. We then did weekly check-in and designed a protocol to share relevant updates so that we didn't get bogged down with details that took us off track. I also developed a detailed outline of mini goals and milestones and the meetings were led by us In the end, the team made massive progress. We completed the project on time and it was praised extensively by the client. The team thanked me for helping to course correct. We also continue to use these tools and they are what make our team so much more efficient at what we do. - This was a great way to answer this question.
