In agile scrum, the “Definition of Done” (DoD) is a clear checklist that outlines what it means for a task or user story to be complete. The DoD ensures that all team members have a shared understanding of completion criteria. This definition includes aspects like code review, testing and documentation.
Importance
- Clarity: The DoD eliminates ambiguity about project completion.
- Consistency: It ensures consistent quality across all tasks.
- Accountability: Team members know what is expected before marking work as complete.
