Key takeaways
Demo the acceptance case.
Show the limitation.
Turn questions into decisions.
Choose the representative scenario
Start with the user or operator outcome the sprint promised. Show the state before, the action, and the observable result rather than a tour of files.
The offshore developer should state which path the demo does not cover so the audience can judge scope honestly.
Bring proof beside the screen
Pair the walkthrough with focused tests, logs, or a fixture that exercises the changed behavior. A polished screen alone cannot establish error handling or persistence.
Use the same evidence in the pull request so the demo remains useful after the meeting.
End on an owner and decision
Capture questions as decisions, follow-ups, or defects. The product manager accepts the outcome; the developer supplies technical limits and next steps.
Do not expand the sprint retroactively because a new idea surfaced during the demo.
