Who creates the Definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Definition of 'Done' is a shared standard, often set by the organization, but defaults to the Scrum Team if no broader standard exists. The Scrum Guide states: 'If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the conventions, standards, or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.'

A: Correct---organizational standards take precedence, otherwise the Scrum Team defines it.

B: Collaboration occurs, but it's not just a 'common denominator.'

C, D: Neither the Product Owner nor Scrum Master owns it alone.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product... If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.' (Section: 'Definition of Done')

Thus, A is correct.

C makes sense too, but I feel like it should be a team effort.

Option B is the funniest answer. I mean, who else would define the "Definition of Done" other than the Scrum Team? The Scrum Master?! Good one!

B for sure. The Scrum Team needs to be involved, not just the Product Owner or Scrum Master.

B is the way to go. The Scrum Team has to own the "Definition of Done" for it to be effective.

I feel like the Scrum Master helps facilitate the process, but I don't think they create the Definition of "Done." It must be the whole team, right?

I'm pretty confident the answer is B. The Scrum Team collaborating to define the Definition of Done makes the most sense to me based on what I've learned about Scrum.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it possible the Scrum Master or Product Owner could define it? I'll have to review the Scrum guide again to be sure.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the Product Owner had more say in it since they focus on the product's success. Could it be A instead?

B) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members' definitions.

I think the Definition of "Done" is created by the Scrum Team, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a collaborative effort or just the development organization.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. The Definition of Done seems like it should be a team effort, but I'm not certain if that's the "best" answer.

I think the answer is B. The Scrum Team should collaborate to define the Definition of Done, as it represents the common understanding of what it means for work to be complete.
