With a quick browser search, you will find that Amazon mostly follows agile, specifically scrum methodology, in its projects. Instead of getting lost on the details of agile or scrum, the interviewer will want to learn that you are able to evaluate success and iterate based on your evaluations throughout the project's lifecycle. Cite an example of a time when you were able to continually improve the process while undergoing it. An effective answer will draw on specific metrics.

"In my years as a project manager, I have always taken the time to regularly evaluate project success at every turn. The best example I can draw from is when I managed the development of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for the entire company. Individual modules for all five departments were to be developed, and the employee lifecycle of all 1300 workers would need to be managed through the ERP.
We started development with a recruitment sub-module. Once a functionality was ready for testing, we assigned one recruiter to use it for applicant processing. They used a checklist that gauged the quantitative and qualitative effectiveness of the functionality at hand. Before we moved on to the next sub-module, I organized a post-mortem meeting to go over our learnings and used those learnings to improve the development process moving forward."
