103. What would you do if your progress is dragged own by other teams?

For example, I had a situation where my team's progress was being dragged down by the backend team's slow implementation of the API. This was causing delays in the integration process, which was impacting our timelines.

The obstacles we faced were the backend team's workload and priorities, which made it difficult to get their timely involvement. So, I took the initiative to proactively communicate with them and find out what was causing the delays.

I spoke with their team lead and identified the specific issues that were causing the delays. Then, I worked with my team and the backend team to come up with alternative solutions and identified the tasks that we could work on independently while their team worked on resolving the issues.

As a result, we were able to complete our tasks without being overly dependent on the backend team's progress. We were still able to meet our timelines and deliver a high-quality product.

This experience taught me the importance of taking ownership of the situation, being proactive in resolving issues and maintaining good communication with other teams, which can help overcome obstacles and keep the progress moving forward.
