How do you respond to a time constraint during a project?

When faced with a tight deadline, I first clarify the priority with stakeholders. I break the task into smaller, deliverable chunks and estimate each one. I communicate any risks or dependencies early. If needed, I negotiate scope or timeline, or request additional resources. I focus on high‑impact work, using agile techniques like daily stand‑ups to track progress. If a blocker arises, I immediately bring it to the team’s attention and seek a workaround. After delivery, I conduct a brief retrospective to capture lessons for future planning.
