I am an agile release train engineer. My role is to enable the strategic development and coordination of the Scrum teams within my area of responsibility. A typical day consists of facilitating various ceremonies such as planning, status, demo, and reflection meetings. I also spend time in one-on-one and group coaching sessions with a mix of scrum masters, product managers, engineers, testers, and analysts. These two activities usually account for 60% or more of my day.
I also devote the remaining time to reviewing team metrics and observing the application of various lean and agile principles in a team setting. I help to identify and implement improvement opportunities. I typically use any time that is left to coordinate with my peers, work with mentors, or educate myself on the latest trends in my area.

Many individuals have similar titles, but they do wildly different work depending on the company, the team(s) they work in, and the products or services they provide. Your interviewer wants to know what a typical day looks like to you and how much time you spend in any given aspect of your role as it helps them to understand the scale and impact of your work.

Keep your answer to this question high-level, Your interview is likely to last around thirty minutes and it is important to allow time for other subjects of discussion. Describe the types of meetings you attend or lead, the work you do to generate products or deliverables, and any time you devote to research or education.
