The in-person demonstration meeting is crucial because it allows the team to directly engage with the product owner, ask clarifying questions, and immediately address any feedback or concerns. This fosters better communication, understanding, and collaboration between the team and the product owner. Being able to have a real-time conversation helps the team ensure they are building the right product, and it allows the product owner to provide nuanced feedback that might not be as clear through asynchronous communication (like sending a link).
The face-to-face interaction provides an opportunity for both parties to align more effectively on the product vision, avoid misunderstandings, and prevent misalignment on priorities, ultimately ensuring that the product being developed meets expectations.

Step 1: Identify Remaining MVP Story Points
The backlog lists the MVP-related stories that are not yet started:
Accessibility - color blind # 4 story points
Increase security # 21 story points
Add AI chatbot # 5 story pointsCCBA
Total remaining MVP story points = 4 + 21 + 5 = 30
Step 2: Consider Velocity and Sprint Progress
The risk register mentions a reduction of 1 story point per sprint from sprints 4 through 6 due to the holiday schedule.CCBA If we assume the team's normal velocity is 10 story points per sprint (hypothetically), it would drop to 9 story points per sprint for sprints 4-6.CCBA Step 3: Calculate Completion Sprint If the team normally completes 10 story points per sprint, they would require approximately 3 sprints (Sprint
7, Sprint 8, and Sprint 9) to complete the remaining 30 story points.
