Definition of Done - More Than Just a Checklist
About this episode
Definition of Done - More Than Just a Checklist
After one too many release debates (and a few emotional retros), I realized the problem wasn’t our process — it was our definition.
“Done” meant 10 different things to 10 different people.
Developers meant “code merged”.
QA meant “tests passed”.
Product meant “feature shipped”.
Ops meant “logs don’t scream”.
So I built a checklist — not to create bureaucracy, but to create peace.
