Can you tell me about a recent project you worked on, sharing with me your process for developing applications?

An interviewer will likely ask you this question early in the interview to learn more about your work style, thought process, and organization skills. Your answer will reveal this information and disclose how you handle any disruptions in the application development process. Your answer should be well organized, taking the interviewer through the steps logically and touching on how you interact with other stakeholders of the project.

"I use a common approach to any application development project. First, I work with the project stakeholders to define the requirements and scope of the project. Included in this discussion are the budget, timeline, and resources. I then put together a project plan, dividing it into steps with specific benchmarks. Next, my team and I begin developing the application, using common programming languages and tools, and following the Agile and Scrum methodologies. Once the application is completed, we beta test it and debug the code. Finally, we meet with the stakeholders again to demonstrate the application and get their feedback. Final modifications are made, and the application is released for commercial sale or internal use. Periodically, we review the app and make any modifications or updates to maintain its functionality and improve its features."
