Remember that the purpose of the Sprint is to build and deliver value.Ĭombine this with the purpose of the Definition of Done - bringing transparency in the quality measures required for the product, and you can see the importance of the Definition of Done during the entire Sprint. So how is Done, the Definition of Done important during the entire Sprint? 👉 A solution (Product/Increment/Service) the team labels as Done, meaning the solution meets the required quality measures, is ready to be released in the hands of the users, in their day-to-day life.īeing Done = meeting the required quality measures = a new Increment exists = a production release is possible.ĭuring each of the Scrum Events, Done should receive the necessary attention and each of the Scrum accountabilities has its role to play. It needs a self-managing, and especially a cross-functional team, a team living the Scrum Values, to make it work in a way that it brings the needed transparency with regards to the quality of your solution/product. The concept Done is the fourth of these concepts. In the past series of mails we covered the three pillars of Empiricism, the Scrum Values, and a Self-Managing and Cross-Functional Team.
