Interview guide
Project management interviews test methodology fluency (agile, waterfall, hybrid), risk and stakeholder scenarios, and recovery stories — 'a project going off the rails' is the centerpiece prompt at every level.
Methodologies: agile vs waterfall selection reasoning, hybrid reality
Planning: scoping, estimation, dependencies, critical path
Risk management: RAID thinking, mitigation with examples
Stakeholders: difficult sponsor, scope creep, expectation resets
Recovery scenario: a late project — diagnosis and rebaseline
Metrics: how you report status honestly and usefully
Bring one detailed recovery story with numbers — original plan, what slipped, your intervention, revised outcome. Recovery narratives carry more interview weight than any smoothly-delivered on-time project.
