Which event is used to demonstrate progress and gather feedback on the increment?

• A. Sprint Planning
• B. Daily Standup
• C. Release Planning
• D. Team Sprint Demo

Answer: (D)

Demonstrating progress and gathering feedback on the actual increment happens at the end of the iteration when the team showcases the finished, integrated work to stakeholders. This is the Team Sprint Demo, the formal event where the team presents the potentially shippable increment and collects input from product owners, customers, and other stakeholders. It provides a clear view of what’s been built, validates that it meets acceptance criteria, and informs adjustments to the backlog for the next iteration. The emphasis is on transparency and alignment between delivered functionality and stakeholder needs.

Sprint Planning is about selecting work for the upcoming iteration, not showing what’s already built. The Daily Standup is a brief daily coordination, not a showcase for feedback on the increment. Release Planning is a broader, cross-team planning activity for a Program Increment, not the team-level demonstration of progress. (There is also a System Demo at the program level to show integrated behavior across teams, but the team-level Team Sprint Demo specifically demonstrates the team’s own increment and gathers feedback on it.)
