Yup, that'll happen, and if you omit it entirely you can get comments going "I'm not seeing this field!".

Would it be better to show no progress at all until it's completely done? I know agile methodologies tell you to demo regularly, but I'm more and more under the impression that they are to provide progress feedback / reports to management.

I remember someone suggesting using deliberately crude and hand-drawn looking UI elements in the demo. That communicates to non-technical users that it's just a prototype.

Something like https://wiredjs.com/ might work, if you are building a web-ui.

I did this, but by not fine tuning the CSS until the end. Just use black and white, leave off the border radius, and make it look "unfinished".

Fabulous idea. I will definitely use this for future early-stage demos.
