Let’s talk Definition of Done

First, with sw-prod-dev our work is never “Done”. What we’re really talking about is a temporary stopping function ...DoDFRN ... definition of done for right now (thread 1/6) #agile #prodmgmt

You should have various pivot/proceed points throughout the effort ... multiple potential stopping functions ... to defeat sunk cost bias, and to hopefully incorporate new feedback/learning. What is your DoSRN ... Definition of Stop Right Now? (2/6) #agile #prodmgmt

We don’t do things just to be done ... we do them to have a celebrate-able outcome. What is your DoSWBPO ... Definition of Something We’d Be Proud Of? (3/6) #agile #prodmgmt

How can you know your DoD before starting? “Done” may be something you learn your way towards. What is your DoSWCLF ... definition of something we can learn from? Or DoKGIW ... definition of keep going, it’s working! Why constrain something that is working? (4/6)

I’m done. This doesn’t need a 4/5
