Pick a question to frame the exercise
S. Situation0 words (aim 30 to 60)
Set the scene in two or three sentences: the context the listener needs, nothing more.
Where were you working, and what was your role?
What was the context, and what was at stake?
What event or constraint kicked this off?
T. Task0 words (aim 30 to 60)
Your specific responsibility in that situation, stated as a clear goal.
What exactly were you responsible for delivering?
What was the goal, the deadline, or the bar for success?
Why did it land on you and not someone else?
A. Action0 words (aim 60 to 120)
The meat of the answer: what you personally did, step by step. Say "I", not "we".
What did you do first, second, third?
What decisions or trade-offs did you make, and why?
Who did you bring in, and how did you get them on board?
R. Result0 words (aim 30 to 60)
The concrete outcome. Include a number if you possibly can: percent, dollars, time saved, people affected.
What changed, and can you quantify it?
What did the team or the business gain?
What did you learn or do differently afterward?

Tips
Quantify the result. "Cut deploy time from 40 minutes to 8" beats "made deploys faster" every time.
Say "I", not "we", for your actions. The interviewer is hiring you, not your old team. Credit others, but own your part.
Keep the situation short. The most common failure mode is three minutes of backstory. Two sentences of context, then move.
One story per question. Do not chain two examples into one answer; pick the stronger story and go deep.
End on the result. Land the number, pause, stop talking. Do not trail off into caveats.
Practice out loud. 150 to 300 written words is roughly 60 to 90 seconds spoken; time yourself once.
