b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 247\\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 247 features my essay on Sprint Reviews and Demonstrations. \\xa0It is all about the feedback.\\nThe essay begins . . .\\nDemonstrations, or demos, are Agile\\u2019s mechanism to share what the team has accomplished during the current sprint. Show and tell, just like in kindergarten, is the basic component of the demo. The team can describe what they\\u2019ve done so that it is easy for stakeholders to interpret. Demos build the team\\u2019s confidence that they are on the right track and customer satisfaction with the product as it is being built.\\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast has a sponsor . . .\\nAs many you know I do at least one webinar for the IT Metrics and Productivtity Intstiute (ITMPI) every year.
