No HR interview. Direct interview with a line manager and a PO. Interview started with the line manager asking about one or two qualifications irrelevant to the job opening and job description, which was a bit unsettling. During a discussion about product ownership, it became apparent that the product owner and the line manager were surprised to learn that the PO needs to have a strong grasp and understanding of the backlog and the product itself. It didn't seem to be the case, and this lack of understanding raised some concerns for me about their implementation of product management within their department.
