The Definition of Done (DoD) represents our team's formal definition of quality for all Product Backlog Items (PBIs). Definition of Done (DoD) is crucial to a highly functioning Agile team. DoD is a checklist/process that the team must perform/complete successfully before declaring the work to be potentially shippable.

The Forminators currently use Jira tickets to visualize, manage, and track story progress from assignment to completion.

This helps our team agree on a standard across our dev community, or UX community. This helps onboard new staff, and also establishes understanding and trust with partners we collaborate with.
