Problem Statement
Tell me about a project that failed. / Have you ever been part of an unsuccessful project?
Explanation
I was part of a project that failed to meet its objectives because we underestimated the complexity, had unclear requirements, and lacked proper stakeholder alignment from the beginning. After the project was scrapped, I conducted a thorough postmortem with the team, documented all lessons learned including the importance of upfront requirement clarity and regular stakeholder communication. This failure taught me invaluable lessons about project management, requirement gathering, and risk assessment that I have applied successfully in subsequent projects, proving that failures can be powerful learning experiences if we reflect honestly.
