34: How would you approach a new project you have never done before?

Interviewer: How would you approach a new project you have never done before?

Candidate: When approaching a new project that I have never done before, I start by thoroughly understanding the project requirements and objectives. I break down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and identify any areas where I need to acquire new knowledge or skills. I conduct research, read relevant documentation, and look for tutorials or case studies related to the project. I also seek advice from colleagues or mentors who may have experience in similar projects. Throughout the project, I maintain clear communication with stakeholders to ensure alignment and make adjustments as needed. This systematic approach helps me manage the unknowns and successfully deliver the project.
