Part 10 in our #scrummaster #interviewquestions series where John McFadyen answers common questions posed to #scrummasters and #agilecoaches in interviews and engagements.  

This is an interesting question. Either your interviewer has very little knowledge of #scrum and wants to gain insight into how you would lead the #scrumteam effectively or they are experiencing an issue within the organization where #developers are excluded from the product discovery process and it is causing problems down the line.  

In short, the #scrumteam must be involved in the product discovery process from the very beginning.   

There will also be a process of continuous discovery as the team move into the development phase. #scrum is built on the pillars of transparency, inspect and adapt so there will always be a strong focus on ensuring that the right thing is being built, at the right time, to deliver the highest value to the #productowner and customer.  

In this short video, John McFadyen explains why product discovery is critical for the #scrumteam and why their focus will always align with ensuring that the team are building the most valuable products and features.
