Stakeholders operate the system during the demo. When stakeholders click the buttons and run the flows themselves, the team sees real reactions and honest feedback.
Stakeholder-driven demos remove the temptation that builder team might hide flaky features, and the team might discover gaps in the acceptance criteria, or might surface usability issues.
This hands-on approach builds trust, teaches stakeholders the system, and gives the team clearer, actionable data to fix what matters.
Discussions for your team
- Who will operate the demo next time?
- How will do we capture the stakeholders observations?
