Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A merge without a showable product is like a rehearsal with the curtain still down. Adaptive success wants a demoable Increment—something stakeholders can poke. Transparency beats ‘trust us, it’s in git.’
Full Explanation
Adaptive methods emphasize working product transparency. A story that is only merged without meeting Done and without a demonstrable Increment fails the intent of inspect-and-adapt events such as Sprint Reviews. Stakeholder-visible outcomes, not repository activity alone, indicate successful completion.
