The answers
When I worked at X I was part of the Information Services team. The team was responsible for the delivery of an enquiry service (Situation). I took the leading role in developing an enquiry logging system (Task). Through one to one discussions with team members I gathered together user requirements and produced a paper that pulled together what the team needed the system to be able to do. I organised a team meeting and discussed the paper with everyone to answer any questions or concerns. I then sent the paper to the developers and this formed the basis of our user requirements (Action). The developers then had a good idea of what our requirements were and it saved time in the development phase of the project (Result).

specific
Good Luck!
