Show flexibility by naming different methodologies you have used and the specific context that made each one the right choice.
Strong answers show experience with multiple approaches (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid, Kanban) and a practical framework for choosing: fixed scope and regulatory requirements may suit Waterfall, evolving requirements suit Agile, ongoing operations suit Kanban. Best candidates adapt methodology to context rather than dogmatically following one approach.
Tests practical experience and adaptability. Red flag: only knowing one methodology or being dogmatic about Agile. Good sign: pragmatic approach that considers team, stakeholders, and project characteristics.
