Can you define what Agile or an Agile Methodology is?
"The agile methodology for software development is an iterative process in which developers share their progress with program managers in stages. The main tenant of the agile development methodology is to identify errors and issues before they become large or have a greater impact on the project's progress. The key to success in an agile development project is frequent reviews and constructive feedback."
This is an example of an opening or general question. An interviewer will ask this type of question early in the interview to get you talking, learn more about you, and discover the information they can utilize for additional questions.
"Agile is an approach to software development that is done in stages. After each stage, the developers share their work with other program stakeholders to ensure they are proceeding in the correct direction and that the development aligns with the user's requirements. This enables developers to identify errors or items which need correction early before their implications become greater."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
