How does this help your team?
The Definition of Done defines what a high-quality Increment looks like for your team. It usually contains such criteria as "The code is covered by unit tests" or "Support documentation is available", or even "The language has been proofread by an editor". The more clear your team is about what quality means to them, the less rework and the more professional your results will be.
Creating and using a Definition of Done is easy and involves three steps:
1. Create the Definition of Done
2. Use the Definition of Done
3. Take the Definition of Done to the next level
We created this do-it-yourself workshop to familiarize your team with the concept of a Definition of Done and to create the first version of their own. So, if you start with a new Scrum team, or your existing team decided to start using Scrum, run this workshop to create your Definition of Done. It's a vital step to kickstart your team in the best way possible!

How does it work?
The PDF outlines a detailed step-by-step 90-minute workshop that relies on Liberating Structures to engage and unleash your team. The string is designed with virtual teams in mind and includes:
- 1-2-4-ALL
- Min Specs
This string of Liberating Structures is feasible from 4 participants and onward.
What do you receive?
- An 11-page full-color guide (PDF).
- We take you through the flow of the string in great detail. Not only do we explain all the steps involved, but we also explain why they are happening. This should make it easier to design your own strings in the future.
- The instructions support all virtual collaboration tools where you can create breakouts or separate channels occasionally (such as Zoom, GotoWebinar, and Teams). You can set up an additional virtual whiteboard in a tool like Mural, Google Slides, or Miro if you prefer.
- The PDF outlines additional resources and useful reading, both to prepare and to distribute afterward.
