Other than Scrum, what other agile methodologies do you have experience working with?
Companies often try a series of methodologies when transitioning from waterfall to agile. Additionally, some companies leverage a variety of models that are selected to accommodate the specific needs of the teams and clients involved. Your interviewers want to know what additional processes and procedures you are familiar with, as they may extend your responsibilities into other agile implementations.
Every agile methodology has specific processes and artifacts that take time and experience to learn to properly facilitate. Avoid naming methodologies that you have only read about or observed.
I have led Kanban teams for several groups who were mostly responsible for maintenance or task-driven work. I have also worked with teams to develop custom methodologies, such as 'Scrumban' (Scrum Kanban), or what we dubbed as 'Scrutterfall' (Scrum Waterfall). In these instances, my teams leveraged the features of each method that added value and developed processes and rules to facilitate their work in a way that worked best for our team and client.
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.
