Part 2 in our #scrummaster #interviewquestions series where John McFadyen answers some of the most common questions asked of #scrummasters and #agilecoaches in interviews.
This question is designed to test whether you have experience working with teams who aren't achieving their #sprint goals on a consistent basis and whether you know how to correct that.
Some interviewers will understand that organizational impediments stand in the way of a #scrumteam achieving their goals and are testing how you would respond to that, whilst other interviewers may genuinely be curious as to what causes to teams to underperform based on your experience.
There are a lot of ways to answer this question and each of those answers will differ based on your own unique experience as a scrum master or agile coach.
In this short video, John McFadyen walks us through the most common reasons why a #scrum team may fail to meet their commitments and why that is.
