Preguntas de entrevista más frecuentes para scrum master y cómo responderlas

Question 1

Pregunta n.º 1: ¿Qué significan para ti los tres pilares del método Scrum?

How to answer
Respuesta recomendada: Esta es una información fundamental que todos los scrum master deberían saber. Aprovecha la pregunta para hablar sobre tu formación académica en Scrum. Enumera con cuidado los pilares y explica cómo influyen en tu forma de llevar a cabo tu trabajo. Aborda cualquier concepto erróneo común sobre los pilares para mostrar tus conocimientos sobre los avances en la teoría de Scrum.
Question 2

Pregunta n.º 2: ¿Existe alguna situación en la que sustituirías otra teoría por la de Scrum?

How to answer
Respuesta recomendada: A no ser que tengas información privilegiada sobre la empresa, no hay una respuesta correcta para esta pregunta. Algunas empresas siguen fielmente la teoría de Scrum y no la cambiarían por ningún otro paradigma. Otras son más flexibles y reconocen que hay situaciones en la que Scrum no sería la teoría más adecuada. Contesta de forma honesta y sincera. En el caso que digas que prefieres no optar por el método Scrum en algunos casos, explica por qué y vincula tu respuesta con los principios básicos de Scrum.
Question 3

Pregunta n.º 3: ¿Cómo te comunicarías de forma eficaz con otros miembros del equipo Scrum?

How to answer
Respuesta recomendada: El scrum master es el líder del equipo y el gestor de proyectos. El entrevistador evaluará tus habilidades interpersonales. Es posible que, en una ronda de entrevistas posterior, se te pida trabajar en un equipo Scrum actual de la empresa para ver cómo interactúas con los demás miembros del equipo.
