It's the PM's job to paint a realistic picture of the project's needs and requirements. With this question, the interviewer is gauging your ability to devise an implementation plan amidst a sea of ideas. A successful answer will outline how you would trim down to the essentials, focusing on what's beneficial for the end-user. Describe how you would build an action plan and do it with limited resources.

"My first step would be to meet with each stakeholder. In these meetings, I will use a whiteboard to visualize the plan and list deliverables. I'll ask for specific steps, owners, and targets to complete each deliverable. In my experience, visualizing a project plan with all the requirements and time involved will force the fluff out. I will make sure they feel that they can express their ideas freely, but at the same time, be realistic about what's achievable and what isn't. Each stakeholder will realize which actions align with the goal and which ones do not."
