The Definition of Done (DoD) in Scrum is a shared understanding of what it means for a Product Backlog item to be considered complete.
Benefits of a Definition of Done include reduced administrative burden, increased transparency, improved consistency, and enhanced collaboration.
The Scrum team creates the Definition of Done if there is no organization-wide DoD, otherwise they adopt the minimum criteria and can add additional criteria.
A well-crafted DoD fosters transparency, understanding, and accountability, helping teams deliver high-quality increments in every Sprint.
