How long is a system demo typically held?

• A. Thirty minutes
• B. One hour
• C. Two hours
• D. Half day

Answer: (B)

System demos are timeboxed events where the integrated solution shown to stakeholders reflects the increment from the latest iteration, with the goal of gathering feedback and validating progress within the cadence. The duration is kept concise so teams can demonstrate meaningful end-to-end behavior, answer questions, and maintain a steady rhythm without dragging on. About one hour is the typical length because it provides enough time to cover the key new capabilities, show how they work together, and engage stakeholders, while staying aligned with the iteration cadence. Shorter sessions (thirty minutes) often don’t reveal enough of the integrated system, and longer ones (two hours or more) tend to lose focus and disrupt the regular flow.
