Behavioral & Leadership (PM Onsite): End-to-End Project Walkthrough

Context: You are interviewing for a Product Manager role in a large-scale tech environment. Choose a single, high-impact project you are proud of and walk through it end-to-end. Then address targeted leadership and stakeholder scenarios.

Prompt

1. Walk through one project end-to-end, covering:
   • Problem and users
   • Goals/metrics (baseline, targets, success criteria)
   • Strategy and scope (assumptions, prioritization)
   • Execution and timeline (team, decisions, risk/mitigation)
   • Results and impact (quantified)
   • Retrospective (what you learned)
2. Then address the following:
   1. How did you handle a significant technical conflict among engineering stakeholders?
   2. A customer set an unrealistic goal—how did you reset expectations while still delivering value?
   3. Describe a time you managed employee performance or misconduct on the team.
   4. When projected costs exceeded potential savings, what framework did you use to decide whether to continue?
   5. How did you influence cross-functional partners without formal authority?
   6. If you could go back in time, what would you do differently on this project?
   7. What is your biggest professional weakness and how are you actively addressing it?
   8. Outline the narrative you would use to present this project to a VP in a concise, 5-minute briefing.
