- Why Product Demos are so Valuable
Product demos are an important part of product development and should be regularly conducted regardless of the type of product. Demos improve collaboration, build trust with stakeholders, and boost morale. They allow teams to gather early feedback and course-correct if needed. Regular demos help avoid long development cycles where the final product does not meet expectations. Cross-team demos every two weeks at TAB surface inter-dependencies and potential issues. Anyone on the team can run a demo to develop presentation skills. Good demos tell a story at a leisurely pace, avoid jargon, have a clear plan, and ensure setup is ready before stakeholders arrive.
