Definition of done

Prior to being converted to the Agile way of thinking, I didnt really have the concept of defining 'done'. We spoke about key project deliverables, constraints , dependencies and a host of other end game type objectives.

These days, I like to keep things simple. Any task that I intend doing now, I start at what I believe will be the criteria for it being 'DONE' . It is so important to have a clear focus on the end game, and to also have the ability to close off a project and move on to the next. It is also important to communicate this to others, so that they can keep you accountable.

I believe that the concept of a definition of DONE is very closely related to another Agile methodology which is the Minimum Viable Product {MVP}. More on this in my next post.
