How do you handle non-functional requirements in a product backlog?
This tests if you can make abstract quality goals concrete. A good answer covers making NFRs explicit backlog items, adding them to the Definition of Done, and creating technical stories. A red flag is treating NFRs as assumed work that doesn't need tracking.
This question tests if you can translate abstract quality goals (like performance or security) into concrete, trackable work for a Scrum team. A strong answer outlines multiple strategies: making NFRs explicit backlog items with measurable criteria, integrating them into the Definition of Done as a quality gate for all stories, and creating dedicated technical stories or tasks for sprint execution. A major red flag is treating NFRs as implicit 'gold plating' or deferring them to a future hardening sprint, which leads to technical debt.
