How do you prioritize when running a project?
When running a project, you will have many components that must be accomplished for successful completion. Some of these components will need to be a top priority for the project to advance, while others will not. The interviewers want to see how you prioritize as a project manager and that you have strong communication and leadership skills. Describe your methods for prioritizing when working as a project manager.
"When running a project, I meet with my team daily to discuss our game plan. The night before our meeting, I make a list of tasks that need to be accomplished and the timeline for when they need to be completed. I like visual aids and use a whiteboard to list what tasks need to be accomplished each day and present that at our meeting. I prioritize the most urgent tasks that should be done immediately, list the next most critical ones, and so on. If something unexpected happens during the project, I will readjust and reprioritize assignments."
