As a leading name in technology, IBM is big on design thinking, and project managers are expected to demonstrate a certain depth of technical proficiency to be effective in their role. When crafting your answer, assure the interviewer how and why you are adept at learning new tools. The interviewer will want to learn that you can break the parts of an application down to its core elements to understand it at a high level.

"The most recent application that I learned to use is Smartsheet, which is a project management or work management tool. During my first few years as a project manager, I used MSExcel spreadsheets to track project tasks. So, I really appreciate that Smartsheet is basically a spreadsheet that automates workflows and assigns tasks. I also think that it's a robust tool that can compete with other cloud-based PM software because it's versatile. There are different view options like grid view, Kanban, or Gantt chart view, so I can manage projects regardless of the framework, whether that's waterfall, agile or something else. My favorite feature is the linking feature, through which I can connect multiple sheets with each other. If there are critical paths between tasks from multiple projects, it's very convenient to oversee them."
