Manoj's response provided some context about sprint planning but did not adequately address the specifics of preparing for and conducting a sprint demo. His answer lacked detail on the key elements necessary for effectively communicating progress to stakeholders. A more comprehensive response, similar to the benchmark, would have included specific strategies for demonstrating completed work, engaging stakeholders, and aligning the demo with project objectives. This would better showcase his understanding of the sprint demo process and its importance in stakeholder communication.
