The Definition of Done Infographic

An in-depth Definition of Done can relieve some of the anxiety relating to members keeping up and creating quality work. The Definition of Done can also act as a checklist for members to validate their work. Specifying which tests need to have included results or reminding members to place their work in the proper directories can give members confidence in their work as well. These common criteria can create a shared cognition where, even though members are encouraged to effectively communicate, if continuous communication is not viable, the work can still be checked and marked complete with confidence.
