The interviewer is looking for insights into your work style and work ethic. This explores your communication, time management, and project management skills. It also touches on your client approach and how you serve their needs best.
An efficient process can make the difference between a job well done and a project that falls apart. The interviewer needs to ensure you have a process in place when you take on a new project. They also want to ensure you aren't counting on them to train you from scratch. Discuss the tools, resources, and methods you use to meet your clients' expectations, and try to align them with their philosophy and approach where appropriate.

"When I take on a new project, I break it into four phases - Initiate, Plan, Execute, Close. These four phases are broken down into categories with a linear timeline attached. Asana and Slack are my 'go-to' tools to ensure the entire team is aware of their tasks and deadlines. I book regular check-ins with my team and schedule client touch points. My high-level view of the project, through all stages, ensures there are rarely surprises and that everyone is on the same page."

"The last time I missed a deadline was five years ago. I trust my process fully and believe in its effectiveness. When I begin a new client project, I call a meeting with my client to create a detailed outline and lay out expectations. From there, I meet with my team where we build out the task list and attach each task to a team member with a specific deadline. We track all activity in Trello. We move as a team, meeting regularly and touching base with our clients for end-of-day updates. This method brings a high level of buy-in from my team and accountability from all people involved."
