When you design and build a product, it is important that you regularly demo completed work with the team and key stakeholders. In Agile software development, so-called sprint demos are a key part of every iteration, but whatever product you’re building, be it an app, a website (or even a physical product), demos can be incredibly valuable.

Without the right approach and tools, software developers are left crossing their fingers, hoping their rollouts won’t end with a crash.
