What you will demonstrate
Prepare like the role is already yours.
- Produces clear Product Goals, Sprint Goals, ordered Product Backlogs, and usable Done Increments supported without taking over another accountability.
- Uses Scrum accountabilities, events, artifacts, commitments, empiricism, and the Definition of Done with appropriate safeguards.
- Partners effectively with Developers, the Product Owner, and the wider Scrum Team.
- Balances Sprint Goal success, usable Increment quality, escaped defects, and stakeholder feedback.
- Guards against becoming a meeting scheduler, process police officer, team manager, proxy Product Owner, or velocity reporter while the team remains dependent and systemic impediments persist.
