Shorten target date with same resources and quality.

Today in a job interview, I was asked what would I do if the project target date needed to be shortened with the same resources. I suggested to decrease the quality but that was rejected. Does anyone have a proper answer?

The answer to these types of "situational" questions are not simple "one liners". The interviewers are looking to see how you would "deal" with the situation from a managerial perspective. We have similar situational type questions when vetting candidates for higher-level positions. Failure rates are typically 40% - 60% and those that passed have done their homework. I think Vasudev had some good points to consider.

A punch in the face for the interviewer?

I only realised now that topic was raised over a year ago Talat, hope you’ve since moved on and secured a role. Please do keep the community updated! :-)
