"In my previous role, I managed a pharmaceutical project where we had to develop a new drug within a tight deadline. I used a Gantt chart to map out all the tasks and their dependencies, which helped in identifying the critical path. I prioritized tasks that were on the critical path and allocated resources accordingly. Additionally, I held weekly meetings to reassess priorities and resource allocation based on the project's progress. This approach ensured that we met our deadlines and stayed within budget."
