What is a sprint demo video?

A sprint demo video shows your team mates what you worked on this sprint. You should explain what your goals were for the sprint and then demonstrate the work you completed. If you shipped a new feature, do a demo of it. If you refactored some code, do a brief walkthrough of the code. Because a sprint demo is pre-recorded you can play it during your sprint review meeting or share it with the team for them to watch asynchronously.

What is the difference between sprint review and sprint demo?

A sprint review is the meeting held at the end of the sprint. Its purpose is to review the sprint based on its goals, along with any stakeholders (e.g. customers or other internal teams). A sprint demo is a chance for members of the team to showcase what was completed and discuss feedback with stakeholders. A sprint demo can be part of a sprint review, but a sprint demo can also be its own event. Sprint demo videos can be pre-recorded and played during a meeting, or the demo can be conducted asynchronously, where sprint demo videos are shared with team members and stakeholders to watch in their own time.

How do I give a good sprint demo?
