Youve been working hard on a high-profile client project for several weeks and

an important mid-project deadline is looming. Everyone on the team is feeling

the pressure to meet the deadline. One evening youve stayed late to make

sure the work youve responsible for is completed to a high quality and ready

for your manager to review the next morning. A colleague whos working with you on the project approaches you to ask for your advice, as theyre unsure how to deal with a situation. They tell you that when they were asking the client some simple questions about a transaction, the client became defensive and seemed reluctant to respond to their challenge. Theyre concerned that vital information may be missing, and that the client is withholding information that may be important to the outcome of the project. Your colleague is going on holiday tomorrow for two weeks and needs to hand this piece of work over to you. What do you do?

Your answer should cover the following:

What would you say to your colleague and team?

What would your main priorities be in dealing with this situation?

How would you make sure these priorities are achieved?

Who would you refer to, if anyone, for support?
