You're currently handling two top-priority projects that are likely to be extended. Another one has just been assigned, and it will definitely require a lot of time and attention. How do you approach the situation?
High-pressure situations are common in project management. In your reply, demonstrate that you have the organizational skills and professionalism to stay composed in this type of environment. The interviewer will want to hear how you plan to decrease the pressure on yourself. People have different ways of dealing with this, but the result should be to ultimately keep the pressure from impacting the projects negatively.
"I love a good challenge, but I have to admit that this sounds like a handful. My plan would be to leverage resources that are available to me. One way I can do this is by gradually delegating certain tasks to stakeholders or team members. The two current projects should already have an established cadence, so I'll do my best to manage progress at a higher level. Another resource I can leverage is automation, such as project management software. I will automate task follow-ups so that I don't have to spend too much time getting updates from team members."
