This is very smart! I actually worked as a QA for a software team before becoming a developer so I was exposed directly to the agile process before I learned the code!

I think this is spot on. Focusing on talking about the software development lifecycle, working with others and estimating time are much more important to a hiring entity than whether or not you can find a solution to a coding problem.
