Describe a time an unexpected obstacle threatened an important goal. Explain what the obstacle was, your role, the options you weighed, what you did, and how it turned out.

Expect follow-ups that probe what you personally did versus the team. A good answer shows persistence and judgment, and what you would do differently.
