Even though a product specialist does not perform engineering duties, they should be familiar with the methodology used by the engineering teams to develop products. These methodologies include Agile, Waterfall, and SCRUM, to name a few. You should be familiar with these methodologies and be able to describe them to the interviewer if asked.

"While I have never used the Agile methodology myself, I am familiar with it and understand its basic concepts. I've worked with engineering teams that employ Agile and admire how this methodology expedites the development process and results in products with no outstanding issues needing to be resolved at the end of the development cycle. I've also participated in the daily stand-ups the team conducts to identify issues, develop solutions for them, review the progress made the previous day, and discuss upcoming activities."
