What development methodologies do you have experience with?
Products are developed using various methodologies, including formal approaches such as Scrum and hybrid approaches that blend and scale agile best practices in a way that works best for a specific team. Interviewers ask this question to learn more about a candidate's background working with various methodologies and determine whether their experience is a match for the requirements of the product owner opportunity.
Remember to answer authentically. This question is an opportunity for the interviewer to ask follow-up questions about your specific duties within a given methodology. Candidates that embellish their experience within a particular methodology run the risk of their interviewer uncovering their dishonesty during follow-up answers.
