Definition Of Done (Dod)

The team's agreed checklist of completion and quality conditions that must all be satisfied before a deliverable is accepted as ready for customer use.

Key Points

  • Owned by the team and visible to stakeholders; it sets a shared bar for completeness.
  • Applies consistently to each increment or backlog item and can be refined over time.
  • Covers quality checks such as tests passing, reviews completed, standards met, and documentation updated.
  • Prevents partially done work from being released and improves forecasting of what can be finished in a Sprint.

Example

A Scrum team building a mobile app defines its DoD to include: all acceptance tests passing in CI, code reviewed and merged, security scan clean, updated user help text, and Product Owner acceptance. A story that fails the security scan does not meet the DoD and cannot be marked done for the Sprint.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes the purpose of the Definition of Done (DoD) in an agile project?

  1. It lists the conditions of satisfaction for a specific user story.
  2. It is the team's standard checklist that confirms work is complete and releasable.
  3. It specifies prerequisites a backlog item must meet before being pulled into a Sprint.
  4. It is the schedule baseline used to track progress against plan.

Correct Answer: B — the team's standard checklist of completion and quality criteria

Explanation: The DoD defines what complete means across items. Option A is acceptance criteria, C is Definition of Ready, and D is unrelated to agile quality/completeness standards.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
