QUESTION 17 OF 29

What is your process for planning a schedule for an IT project?

You probably already recognize this as an operational question since you are being asked about a process that you use to do your job. The best way to prepare for an interview is to review how you go about doing your job, the processes involved, the relationships you have with other people, and some of the technical information you use. It would help if you also practiced answering questions like these out loud so that when you get into the interview, you are comfortable, and it feels more natural.

"When establishing a schedule for a new IT project, I first meet with all of the project stakeholders to understand the requirements and to get their input on the timeline for the project. I then consult my team to make sure that the timeline is realistic. Next, I break down the project into finite processes and to assign a schedule for each one of these, noting any dependencies between them. Finally, I review the schedule with the stakeholders and my team to ensure everyone agrees that it is attainable and realistic."
