Sample answer
“During my internship at Flipkart, I was tasked with managing the product launch schedule while also coordinating feedback from various teams. I created a prioritization matrix based on deadlines and impact on the launch. I used Trello to keep track of progress and ensured regular check-ins with stakeholders. This approach allowed me to successfully meet all deadlines and contribute to a seamless launch.”
