What is the focus of a Team Demo in SAFe?

The focus of a Team Demo in SAFe is to showcase completed work to stakeholders. This event provides an opportunity for the team to demonstrate the features and functionalities they have developed during the iteration. It helps stakeholders understand what has been accomplished, gather feedback, and ensure alignment with expectations. By involving stakeholders in this process, the team can receive valuable insights that may influence future work and iterations.

This event is distinct from a program increment review or planning activities, which have different objectives and involve broader perspectives and more comprehensive reviews of multiple teams' work. Assessing team dynamics is typically part of retrospective activities rather than the demonstration of completed work. Thus, highlighting the completion and functional capabilities of user stories is the primary goal during a Team Demo.
