Product Owner interview questions: the 8 to ask

A product owner carries the product vision for an agile team and manages the backlog day to day.

  1. 1.How do you prioritise your backlog?
  2. 2.How do you write testable acceptance criteria?
  3. 3.How do you handle an urgent request mid-sprint?
  4. 4.How do you split a large feature?
  5. 5.How do you measure delivered value?
  6. 6.How do you manage demanding stakeholders?
  7. 7.What is the difference between a PO and a PM for you?
  8. 8.Tell me about a sprint that went wrong.

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
