A demo every Friday, even a small one

Working software, weekly

From the third week of every project, there is a demo on Friday. It is short, usually twenty minutes, and it shows working software on a real link: not slides, not a prototype, not a screen recording.

Some weeks the demo is small. One new screen, a faster search, a bug that is gone. It still happens.

  • Clients see progress they can touch, and stop needing status meetings to feel informed.
  • The team ships something every week, which turns out to be the best habit a team can have.

If it cannot be shown on Friday, it is not done.
