Who is responsible for adhering to the DoD?
It has recently transpired that one element around our team's DoD has not been fully adhered to?
Who's main area of responsibility does this fall under?
It's the Development Team's responsibility to ensure that their work meets the Definition of Done.
Have a retrospective and find out if this problem was due to necessary but known work being missed in the Sprint Backlog, or whether a new understanding of what "Done" means has only just now come to light.
Thanks, this is really helpful.
DoD is used for ensuring Transparency and SM's job is to work with the Scrum Team for making sure that transparency is maintained.
Hello All,
As per my understanding of the scrum guide and other sources on the net, the DoD has two parts:
1. Meeting the customer's expectations (basically the acceptance criteria)
2. Meeting with the team's expectations (is the team happy with the implementation of the story?)
Some common DoD for point 2 are Test Coverage, Peer review etc.
You could go further in your analysis and see under which category your element falls.
