How to answer what's your role in the project?

I usually said conducted xxx analysis, which was mostly true, but that applies to all projects. How should I answer this?

Hi there,

I imagine this is relating to the question posted here? https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/how-do-you-explain-your-project-experience-as-a-consultant-10341

My answer would be very similar. As in, I would start my summarizing/sythensizing the project overall. Then I would talk about the specific responsibilities/roles had. I'd be structured and precise about waht I exactly did. Then, I would talk through the findings, the recommendation, and what was done in the end. Overall, the explanation should take about a minute.
