If you search for project management interview questions online, you’ll find the same generic list everywhere. But the questions that actually separate candidates who understand IT project management from those who just studied for it — those don’t show up on the standard lists.

In this video, I break down 20 IT project management interview questions across five categories — from foundation questions to the ones most candidates don’t see coming. For each one, I explain the thinking behind the answer so you can adapt it to your own experience.

In this video, I cover:

  • The judgment framework that separates good answers from great ones
  • 5 foundation questions everyone expects — and how to answer them differently
  • IT-specific questions that test whether you’ve operated in real environments
  • Stakeholder and communication questions that reveal your operating maturity
  • Problem situation questions that show how you perform under pressure
  • The open-ended questions most candidates stumble on
