Varun's response indicates a lack of recall or preparation regarding a specific instance of managing conflicting requirements, which is a significant concern in an interview setting. This inability to provide an example suggests a lack of reflection on past experiences that are relevant to the question. In contrast, the benchmark response is detailed and provides a clear example of how to manage conflicting requirements among stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of organizing meetings, facilitating discussions, and conducting prioritization exercises to navigate challenges and reach a consensus. To improve, Varun should prepare for behavioral questions by reflecting on relevant past experiences and being ready to discuss specific examples. He could say, "In a project for a healthcare client, I organized a meeting with marketing and compliance teams to address conflicting requirements, facilitating discussions that led to a phased implementation of a new feature."
