That I faced and had to solve under pressure. It was a year ago when I first started my university. We were given a group project in our marketing course. We were tasked to design a comprehensive marketing strategy for a local startup. Suddenly, we faced a significant problem when one of the team members had decided to leave the course, leaving us shorthanded. Every individual was assigned a specific part of the task, so it was very difficult for us to cope with that since we were already on a tight schedule. We immediately decided to arrange a meeting and brainstorm ideas on how to mitigate the impact of losing a team member. We redistributed the workload amongst the remaining members and decided to ask for an extension of the deadline from our faculty. We redistributed the workload according to the special skills and talent of every individual on the team. After asking our faculty, he was kind enough to analyze our situation and give us an extension of 1 week to submit our assignment. After that, we worked relentlessly and diligently. We opened communication channels, worked effectively, helped each other throughout the entire process, and communicated with each other at every step. Finally, our hard work paid off, and we were able to complete the assignment on time. After that, we were also asked to present our ideas in front of the university faculties due to our work being extraordinary.
