What is a common challenge faced during the System Demo?

Technical difficulties with the demo are a common challenge faced during the System Demo because the primary goal of this event is to showcase the integrated work of the Agile Release Train (ART) and gather feedback from stakeholders. Technical issues can disrupt this process, leading to an inability to effectively demonstrate the capabilities of the product being developed. These issues may stem from various factors like problems with the demonstration environment, incomplete features, or integration issues that prevent the team from showcasing the product’s functionality as planned.

Overcoming technical difficulties is crucial to ensuring that stakeholders can accurately assess progress and provide constructive feedback. Addressing such challenges not only impacts the immediate demo but can also affect stakeholder trust and engagement over the long term if the demos do not go smoothly. Thus, it’s essential for the teams to prepare thoroughly and test the demo setup in advance.
