5 Scrum Master interview questions you MUST KNOW!

I get questions about the Scrum Master interviews all the time as it’s never clear how to prepare, especially, if you are generally new to the role.
Yes, you may have the right knowledge and skills, but are you ready to answer some tough questions that you most likely will be asked during the interview?
Watch the video to find out how you can get ready for a Scrum Master interview and pass it with confidence.
In this video I talked about:
✅ What general skills, knowledge and traits we are looking for in Scrum Masters during the interview
✅ What are the five questions that I like to ask during the interview
✅ What we are looking for when asking those questions
and more!

    Hi, can't find much on this topic so I figured I ask - Starting a new SM position in 2 weeks (went through a 3rd party recruitment agency that has ties to the organization I will work for... the hiring manager reached out about a week ago to make the offer (was supposed to go through my agency instead to make offer) but shared her number and said if I have any questions feel free to contact her. In the last 7 days since, Ive completed the background check and got a start date. Should I reach out to the hiring manager or just wait until I begin work instead? Also will the organization reach out prior to start date or I strictly deal with hiring agency reps in between now and start date?

  • @ScrumMastered

    I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer. I would reach out to the hiring manager and ask if there is anything you can get ready before starting. Also to check what time you start, who to reach out to if you have questions, etc. As for the agency - I don't know what kind of contract you have with them or what kind of contract that company has with them - it all depends on the terms there, so it's hard to say what's the right approach here.

    @it-loghelp7638 That is a big question! And I would need to know the context to give you any concrete advice. I would say though that having 4 teams while being a new Scrum Master is honestly too much. Especially, if you don't have other Agilists in your organization. If you do have other SMs or Agile Coaches, then reach out to them and learn from their experiences. I have a couple of videos and articles on self-management, and of course, lots of other topics.

    I wish there was an easy way, but as with any professional transition, you need some time, effort, and a little bit of luck. I would say to start actively participating in Agile and Scrum communities, connect with Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters directly to see if their organizations are hiring. And, of course, make your resume aligned with the role as much as possible based on your past experiences (even if they are not in Scrum, I'm sure you have some good transferable skills) and start applying.
