Tell me about a challenge you faced. Sure. Last year our team lost two developers in the same month, right before a launch. I took over the testing myself and set up a simple daily checklist so nothing slipped. We launched a week late, but with far fewer bugs than the previous release. I learned that a clear process matters more than headcount.
