What is one way to ensure a team is holding successful Iteration Reviews and demos?

AThe team demos working functionality

BThe team swarms to prepare for demos

CThe team shares improving metrics

DThe team ensures they complete every Story

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

One way to ensure a team is holding successful iteration reviews and demos is to have the team demo working, tested system components that meet the definition of done (DoD). This shows the team's progress and value delivery, and allows them to receive feedback from the product owner and other stakeholders. The team should minimize the use of slides and the preparation time for the demos, and focus on the solution instead of the presentation. The team should also discuss the impact of the current solution on the nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) and identify any risks or impediments.

I think swarming to prepare for demos was mentioned in one of our practice questions. It seems like a good strategy to ensure everyone is on the same page.

I remember we discussed the importance of showing working functionality during demos, but I'm not sure if that's the only factor.

Swarm planning for the demos could be a good strategy. That way the whole team is prepared and can highlight different aspects of the work. Plus, it gets everyone engaged in the review process.

Completing every Story is important, but I think the real focus should be on showcasing the team's progress and improvements. Sharing metrics that demonstrate the team's velocity and efficiency would be a great way to show success.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the Iteration Review is important, but I'm not confident I understand all the best practices. Maybe I should review my notes on Agile ceremonies before the exam.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I think the key is to focus on demonstrating working functionality during the Iteration Review. That's what the stakeholders really want to see.
