Scrum Master Interviews

Scrum Master Interview Questions

Scrum masters implement the Scrum framework for project management and development teams. Interviewers are searching for individuals with mental agility and strong interpersonal skills. They want to elicit responses that will help them decide whether you have leadership skills and can fit into the existing Scrum system at the company.

Top Scrum Master Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: What do the three pillars of Scrum mean to you?

How to answer
How to answer: This is basic information that every Scrum master should know. Take advantage of the question to talk about your educational background in Scrum. Carefully list the pillars and how they influence your approach to work. Address any common misconceptions about the pillars to demonstrate your awareness of developments in Scrum theory.
Question 2

Question #2: Are there any situations in which you would substitute another theory for Scrum?

How to answer
How to answer: Unless you have an inside scoop on the company, there's no right answer for this question. Some employers are committed to Scrum and would never replace it with another paradigm. Others are flexible and recognize that there are times when Scrum might not be the best theory to use. Be honest and truthful. If you would deviate from Scrum, explain why, and link your answer to Scrum's core principles.
Question 3

Question #3: How would you effectively communicate with other members of the Scrum team?

How to answer
How to answer: The Scrum master is the team leader and project manager. The interviewer is assessing your interpersonal skills. In a later interview round, your interviewer may embed you with the company's current Scrum team and view your interactions with the team members.
