QUESTION 5 OF 25

You have been tasked to manage market expansion into a completely new location. What are your first steps?

The two main considerations in starting a project are resources and timeline. When crafting your answer, cover these two items first, and then you can talk about defining the project milestones. The interviewer will look for your expertise in project scoping. Drawing on previous experience can help make your answers more realistic.

"First, I would ask the project sponsors about the budget for this expansion and the target launch date. Then, I will look for any precedents -- any previous projects that may have similar milestones. This will also help me make better decisions based on the project outcomes. If none, I can start from scratch by identifying and meeting with the main stakeholders and build the project scope from there."
