Find Interview Questions for Mallow Technologies

Right Answer:
The Agile Manifesto values:

* **Individuals and interactions** over processes and tools.
* **Working software** over comprehensive documentation.
* **Customer collaboration** over contract negotiation.
* **Responding to change** over following a plan.

That is, while the items on the right have value, we value the items on the left more.

Right Answer:
I would assess the organization's context, choose a suitable scaling framework like SAFe or LeSS based on needs, implement it incrementally with training and coaching, focusing on value delivery, and continuously inspect and adapt the implementation based on feedback and results.

Right Answer:
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader who helps the Scrum Team follow the Scrum framework. They facilitate Scrum events (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), remove impediments, protect the team from distractions, and coach the team on Agile principles and practices.

Right Answer:
**Benefits:** Faster time to market, reduced risk, improved quality, faster feedback, happier teams.

**Challenges:** Requires high automation, strong collaboration, cultural shift, investment in infrastructure, and robust testing.

Right Answer:
Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress (WIP), and continuous flow. Scrum uses time-boxed iterations (sprints) with specific roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Development Team) and events (sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, sprint retrospective).

Use Kanban when you need continuous delivery, have evolving priorities, and want to improve workflow incrementally. Use Scrum when you need structured development with fixed-length iterations, have clear goals for each iteration, and benefit from team collaboration with defined roles.

Right Answer:
A web service is a standardized way of allowing different applications to communicate over the internet using protocols like HTTP. It provides a method for applications to exchange data and perform operations. An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and tools that allows different software applications to interact with each other. A web service is a type of API that specifically uses web protocols to enable this interaction.

Right Answer:
An API endpoint is a specific URL or URI where an API can be accessed by a client to perform operations like retrieving or sending data. It defines the location and method (such as GET, POST) for interacting with the API.

Right Answer:
An API Gateway acts as a single entry point for clients to access multiple microservices, handling requests, routing them to the appropriate services, managing authentication, rate limiting, and aggregating responses.

Right Answer:
The common status codes in HTTP responses are:

- **200**: OK
- **201**: Created
- **204**: No Content
- **400**: Bad Request
- **401**: Unauthorized
- **403**: Forbidden
- **404**: Not Found
- **500**: Internal Server Error
- **502**: Bad Gateway
- **503**: Service Unavailable

Right Answer:
Synchronous API calls wait for the response before moving on to the next task, while asynchronous API calls allow the program to continue executing other tasks while waiting for the response.

Right Answer:
Regression analysis is a statistical method used to examine the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It is used to predict outcomes, identify trends, and understand the strength of relationships in data.

Right Answer:
SQL (Structured Query Language) is used in data analysis to query, manipulate, and manage data stored in relational databases. It allows analysts to retrieve specific data, perform calculations, filter results, and aggregate information to derive insights from large datasets.

Right Answer:
Some common data visualization techniques include:

1. Bar Charts
2. Line Graphs
3. Pie Charts
4. Scatter Plots
5. Histograms
6. Heat Maps
7. Box Plots
8. Area Charts
9. Tree Maps
10. Bubble Charts

Right Answer:
A hypothesis is a specific, testable prediction about the relationship between two or more variables. To test a hypothesis, you can use the following steps:

1. **Formulate the Hypothesis**: Clearly define the null hypothesis (no effect or relationship) and the alternative hypothesis (there is an effect or relationship).
2. **Collect Data**: Gather relevant data through experiments, surveys, or observational studies.
3. **Analyze Data**: Use statistical methods to analyze the data and determine if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
4. **Draw Conclusions**: Based on the analysis, conclude whether the hypothesis is supported or not, and report the findings.

Right Answer:
Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleaning, and modeling data to discover useful information, draw conclusions, and support decision-making. It is important because it helps organizations make informed decisions, identify trends, improve efficiency, and solve problems based on data-driven insights.

Right Answer:
I am looking for new challenges and opportunities for growth that align more closely with my career goals and interests.
