What do you do when a team member asks for more time to complete an assignment?

It is common for interviewers to ask situational questions like this. They want to see how you communicate with your team members and what you will implement to keep the project running smoothly and on time. It is best to let the interviewers know that you would ask why the team member needs more time and add more resources if the team feels overloaded or overworked. You also want to let the interviewers know that you would consider adding time buffers for specific tasks in the planning phase or would step in and assist your team member if your schedule allows.
