About Event

​Most people in Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Product Manager roles never see the full picture of product development.

​They see the slice their team owns — sprints, retros, a few stakeholder meetings, maybe a PI Planning event. They rarely see a business problem move from Design Thinking, into an Epic, into a PI Plan, into sprints, into a release, with them owning a real seat at every step.

​So when interviews come, they do the only thing available to them: they memorise. Framework definitions, STAR templates, model answers to "tell me about a time…" It works up to a point. Then in senior rounds, it stops — because senior interviewers aren't listening for the right definition. They're listening for whether you've actually lived the work.

​The current job coaching cohort has spent the last few weeks doing something different. They ran a live project end-to-end — Design Thinking to release — rotating through Product Manager, Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Program Manager seats. A real project, real decisions, real trade-offs.

​In this session, seven of them will walk you through the part they owned:

  • ​A Product Manager on Design Thinking to Epic and Feature.

  • ​A Product Owner on taking that Epic into SAFe PI Planning.

  • ​A Scrum Master on how the sprint that followed ran in Jira.

  • ​A Scrum Master on a Gemba Walk that surfaced a real process improvement.

  • ​A Program Manager on RAID, RACI, dependencies, and stakeholder communication.

  • ​A Product Owner on a metrics system, wired live into a Jira dashboard.

  • ​A Product Manager on release budgeting and the feature-plus-resource timeline.

​Then each will take live interview questions on the work they just demonstrated. Not rehearsed answers — the interview version of what you just watched them do.

​By the time these seven interview for their next role, they won't be preparing answers. They'll be sharing experiences.

​Who this session is for:

  • ​People thinking about their next career move

  • ​Hiring managers evaluating referrals for their teams

  • ​Anyone considering whether the program is right for someone they know

​Format: Live on Zoom, 90 minutes. Cameras off if you prefer. No pitch, no slides — just the work.

​Space is limited.
