Here would be my abbreviated list

1) Are you solving the problem that someone (your customer / manager / stakeholder) wants you to solve right now? what makes you think the thing you're working on is the priority, have you checked with someone or got convincing data

2) Are you taking longer than expected? if yes, why? What's a practical solution now and for the future so everyone remains happy? If no, why do you think so?

3) Are the people in charge of your future happy with what you've delivered? How do you know and what's the reason if they're unhappy?

4) If there's a disconnect on any of the points between you and the stakeholders, what is a practical solution that you can implement it quickly?

5) Are you knowledgeable enough that people can rely on you to solve their problems in the most practical manner?
