Describe a situation where you needed to make meaningful progress on a problem but did not have all the information you needed. Maybe the data was incomplete, the stakeholder was unavailable, or the domain was unfamiliar.
How did you decide what to do next? What assumptions did you make, and how did you validate them? I'm interested in the judgment calls you made along the way.
How to approach it
- Hint 1
Choose an example where the missing information was significant -- not just a minor gap you could easily fill with a quick question.
- Hint 2
Walk through the assumptions you made explicitly. How did you decide which assumptions were safe enough to act on and which ones needed validation first?
- Hint 3
Describe how you communicated your assumptions and progress to the team. Did you document them? Flag risks? Adjust course when new information arrived?
