How do you handle conflict resolution between team members?
2 réponses↳
Interesting question for a Product Owner, I would generally consider managing the team dynamics (including conflict) as a key part of the Scrum Master role. Moins
↳
In response to the inquiry above, the Product Owner and Scrum Master role at Renovate America are considered one role. It's obviously not ideal since these two roles are supposed to balance each other, but that is the current setup at the company. Quite a bit of responsibility for one role. The PO manages the backlog (feature prioritization) and runs all retrospectives as well. Moins

As a PO you met with two VPs who want their Biopham compliance documents in digital format. Describe how you would go about this in 10 minutes
2 réponses↳
I would ask them what exactly do they envision being able to do when this work is delivered. This is my way crafting acceptance criteria and success factors. I would ask why the current way is not working, why the change now? If the ask seemed like a ton of effort, I would ask if the team could produce part of this request, what would be the most critical piece in order for the digital format to be useful. I would just listen for the messages not said directly suchas, if they really know what they want and why. Moins
↳
Since the VPs want a digital version of their compliance documents, it is implied they have physical versions. I'd ask for a hard copy of the compliance document. Once I have a version in hand, I'd ask them what parts of the document tend to be the same doc-to-doc, and which parts change or require user input. Moins

Tell me how to calculate the cost and release date for an MVP?
2 réponses↳
MVP has to be defined first. Assuming you have a list of stories that are all groomed and sized, you can combine that with your estimated velocity of your dev team. This velocity should be based on a historical average. If you have roughly 100 points worth of stories in your MVP and you do 10 points of velocity a sprint, you should be done in 10 sprints. You then multiply the cost of the development per sprint (# of engineers @ rate) by 10. That's the cost, but you should charge your margin on top of that. Also, there's always "found" work so you should add 50% schedule slack so it really should take 15 sprints. Underpromise and overdeliver. Moins

For the hypotheses presentation what did you do from a data point of view to prepare? I find that not having access to their quantitative or qualitative data is a big challenge in preparation for the test cases. Moins
↳
For the business case, I used publicly available data as a resource. The purpose of the business case it's not so much about using 100% factual data. They just want to test if you're able to come up with the right data points that you need in order to solve the case. Approximations and assumptions are totally acceptable, as long as there's some logic behind the assumptions you've made. Regarding the hypotheses presentation, you have to come up with two A/B tests that you'd like to run on the website. These also do not have to be based on factual data. They could also be based on persuasion principles. You could just say "I hypothesise that adding animation to the search button on the yellow search box will imply urgency which in turn will lead more people to search and convert" Moins
