Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business Owners and external stakeholders.
The System Demo is the primary event for stakeholders to see the progress of the Agile Release Train. It provides objective evidence of the work completed and allows for feedback that can influence the future direction of the product. The Scrum Master ensures the team is prepared to present their work meaningfully.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The Development Team members within the ART.
Why it's wrong here
While the development team attends the demo to see the work of other teams, they are not the primary audience for the event. The team already sees their own work daily; the System Demo is specifically designed to provide visibility to those outside the immediate development process to ensure alignment.
- ✓
Business Owners and external stakeholders.
Why this is correct
Business Owners and Stakeholders are the primary audience because they provide the business context and feedback necessary to validate the solution. Their presence ensures that the ART is building the right thing and that the investment of time and resources is producing the expected value for the organization.
- ✗
The Scrum Master and Release Train Engineer.
Why it's wrong here
The Scrum Master and RTE facilitate the event but are not the primary audience. They are focused on the process and ensuring the demo runs smoothly, rather than being the consumers of the information presented. Their goal is to make the event effective for the stakeholders who need it.
- ✗
The System Architect and technical leads.
Why it's wrong here
The System Architect uses the demo to ensure technical alignment and that the architectural runway is being utilized correctly. However, they are part of the ART leadership and are not the primary reason the event is held, as the demo's main purpose is to validate business value with stakeholders.
