Describe a situation where you had to handle multiple competing priorities. How did you decide what to focus on?

I use a matrix to evaluate tasks based on urgency and importance. When I had three major projects due simultaneously, I assessed each one's business impact, stakeholder expectations, and dependencies. I communicated with all stakeholders about realistic timelines, negotiated deadline adjustments where possible, and focused on high-impact deliverables first. This systematic approach helped me complete all projects successfully.
