Practice sprint demo feedback vocabulary: stakeholder acceptance, conditional approval, PO rejection, new requirements triggered by demos, and capturing feedback in Jira.

A stakeholder says 'I like the feature but I want to change the label on the export button'. How should the team handle this?
When a story meets its acceptance criteria, it can be accepted. Minor feedback like a label change is captured as a new backlog item — this keeps the sprint review focused and avoids scope creep mid-demo. The PO decides priority for the follow-up item.

A PO says 'accepted with one condition: the error message must be updated before release'. What is the correct team response?
'Accepted with one condition' means the story is done but has a minor outstanding item that must be resolved before going to production. The team logs this as a task or bug, not a full story rejection, and addresses it before the release gate.

During a demo a stakeholder says 'this is great — but seeing it makes me realise we also need X'. What vocabulary describes this?
Demos frequently surface new requirements because stakeholders can react to working software in ways they couldn't to a written spec. These demo-triggered requirements are valuable — they're captured in the backlog, not added to the current sprint.
4 / 5
The PO says 'I'm rejecting this story — the flow doesn't match the agreed acceptance criteria'. What should happen next?
If a story doesn't meet its acceptance criteria, the PO can reject it. The story goes back to the backlog with clear notes explaining why it was rejected and what needs to change. It will be re-estimated and scheduled in a future sprint.

A team says 'the demo feedback is captured in Jira'. What does this mean practically?
Capturing demo feedback in Jira means any new requirements, change requests, conditional acceptances, or follow-up tasks raised during the demo are immediately logged as tickets. This ensures feedback doesn't get lost and is visible to the whole team in the backlog.
