Definition of Done (DoD)

A formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product.

Definition

If the organization has a DoD standard, teams must follow it as a minimum; otherwise the Scrum Team creates one. Multiple teams on one product share a common DoD.

Example

DoD: code reviewed, automated tests pass, security scanned, documentation updated, deployed to staging.

Exam tip

DoD applies to the whole Increment; acceptance criteria apply to individual items.
