What was the process for reporting/escalating deadline issues? Who was responsible for that decision?

Describe how deadline risks were identified, communicated and resolved on your actual project. Separate the person who raised the risk from the person authorized to change scope or dates.

Explain when you escalated, what evidence you provided and which options the team considered: reducing scope, changing priorities or extending the deadline. Mention who made the final decision and how it was documented. Avoid implying that QA alone accepted all business risks unless that was genuinely your role. A concrete example is more useful than a generic escalation chart.
