At Accenture, it's not entirely uncommon to simultaneously work with many clients on multiple projects. Issues may arise that accelerate the deadlines and urgency of any given project. Therefore, this question is designed to assess your expertise surrounding multitasking, project management, and your ability and approach to prioritizing. This question tests how well you work smarter rather than harder.
Show your interviewer how you logically approach prioritizing multiple demands without fumbling or burning out. Offer your reasoning, your systems approach, and any resources you rely upon to help you process what needs to happen and when. The better you prioritize, the more productive you will be, displaying you as a desirable asset to Accenture.

"I aim to be as effective as possible and use all minutes of the day. In my current role, I have three to five projects going on at once. I am the lead on some, the delegator on others, and the reviewer on others. By splitting up the roles and work responsibilities, my team and I can be the most efficient with our time."

"I love to keep running lists of everything I need to do, big or small. I've started utilizing free project management software for lists and task categorization and then marking them by the level of urgency. I take care of the most time-sensitive issues first and then move on to the equally important but less time-sensitive items. I also estimate how long each task will take, so I can tackle the quick to-dos if I have a few minutes between projects."
