After choosing SAFe Team Kanban, parks volunteer-management staff ask to skip System Demo because Kanban teams do not demo on a cadence. What should the SM/TC do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Kanban is a team method, not a hall pass out of the train. Parks still rides the ART, so System Demo, PI Planning, and Inspect and Adapt stay on the calendar. Switching the board style does not switch off cadence.
Full Explanation
SAFe Scrum and SAFe Team Kanban are team methods; both operate on the ART iteration cadence and participate in ART events. System Demo, PI Planning, and Inspect and Adapt remain required so the train can integrate, plan, and improve together. Throughput charts, private spreadsheets, and skipped planning seats isolate the team from that shared cadence. Method selection never excuses ART events.
