The obstacle I encountered was being able to meet with SME’s. My internship project had tight deadlines and it required the involvement of multiple teams. Therefore, I had to meet with SME’s across the globe, so when scheduling meetings, there were other factors to consider such as different time zone, work schedules, holidays, etc. This was somewhat difficult because people were often traveling, or unavailable to meet. However, I often asked for the desired information through email (even though it took longer), or ask to be directed to another person who could help me gather the information I needed.
