LogoutQuestion’s Purpose
They want to gauge the level of your PM maturity and your honesty. Honesty is critical to being a PM. If you are not honest, then you are not trustworthy and they will not place an entire developer team and a critical project in your untrustworthy hands.
How to Answer
Every PM under the sun has failed at a project and the interviewer knows that. The best answer isn’t about the failure itself, it’s about the lessons learned. A mature PM will have done a solid analysis/retro on any failure they experienced and have strong lessons-learned to take to the next project. So when answering this question, outline the failure so they have the context but spend most of the time explaining what you learned from it. Bonus points if you can connect those learnings to the new job’s challenges.
Don’t be afraid of that failure, embrace it and be excited to tell them what you learned from it.
