    Task 6 of 8 — Dealing with a Difficult Situation

    Your Task

    You are a project manager. Your team has been working hard on a major project for three months. Yesterday, your boss told you the client has moved the deadline up by two weeks. You know your team is already working overtime and this new deadline seems impossible to meet without sacrificing quality. You need to speak with your boss about this.

    How It Works

    You will have 60 seconds to prepare, then 60 seconds to record your response. You can pause and review before submitting.
