This question evaluates a data scientist's stakeholder management, cross-functional communication, negotiation, and leadership competencies when aligning conflicting priorities among engineering, product, and compliance teams.

Cross-functional projects often require coordination between data scientists, engineers, product managers, and compliance or legal teams. These groups can have valid but conflicting priorities (e.g., speed vs. reliability vs. risk controls).
Describe a time you worked with multiple stakeholders who had conflicting priorities. How did you align them and deliver the project?
