Milestone demos: what 'good' looks like

How to run milestone demos that validate real progress: acceptance checks, edge cases, and stakeholder sign-off patterns.

No video required.

This is a premium transcript-style resource designed to stand alone as a complete guide.

Demos are not screenshots

A demo must prove acceptance criteria, not just show UI.

Edge cases and permissions must be part of validation.

The demo checklist we follow

Happy paths and error paths.

RBAC and access checks.

Performance notes where needed.

How sign-offs actually work

Written acceptance after demo.

Open issues logged as follow-ups—not hidden.
