"Hey, Thanks for the question - it’s a fantastic challenge with real-world impact. Cool so this is the rough backbone structure that we can follow and ofcourse we can add meat later on to it and pivot if required.

"First, I would operationalize the term "slip" by asking:
What’s slipping — delivery, scope, quality, or decision-making?
Second, I would ask the following questions that help me shape the possible causes for the "slip":
What is important for us in this project delivery: time/quality/scope?
What is the priory of this project? Is it urgent? Do we have a strict customer or other stakeholder commitment?
Is it a big project that involves multiple teams or is only one team involved"

"This is a Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know.
Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation
**Breakdown components of your equat"
