DoD- Definition of Done


DoD is a shared understanding between Scrum team members of what it means to call work as done. When we call an item as "done," everyone in the team must understand what that means. DoD ensures transparency in the team as everyone understands what a done PBI is.

A programmer's understanding could be like an item is done when the coding is complete. A tester's perception will be like an item is done only when all the testing activities are complete. A build and release engineer may think that a PBI as done when it is pushed to live. Other team members may feel that a PBI as done only when it functions as expected for a customer. There may be multiple perspectives of a done product increment from each Scrum Team members. 


The definition of done brings them all to the same page in understanding what a "done" product increment signifies. The purpose of every sprint is to come up with a potentially releasable product increment (PRPI). The development team delivers a working product increment every sprint. The product increment should be readily releasable so the Product Owner can choose to release them immediately or on a specific date. 


As part of the Scrum Team kick-off, the definition of done is one of the things that will be created upfront. Without a proper definition of done, the team can't deliver a working product increment. If the definition of "Done" for an increment is part of the conventions, standards, or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum.
