We are working in a team that builds and supports a home-made e- commerce solution for a business unit (BU) within the company I work in. Initially, the...
Hi there, I'm at a small company where we're heavily investing into Scrum and I've got great commitment from management so far. The problem however is that a...

Hi Dennis, ... "Definition of Done" is a hypothesis. Once something is Done, you shouldn't ever have to go back to "fix" it. The first time this happens...
Dennis, I've been in your situation a number of times and it's not an easy situation to be in. IMHO the first thing to do is celebrate the positive, team...

Hi Dennis, Since you have not applied the definition of done to any of your features, how much can you consider done? Nothing. Your velocity is zero. In your...

+1 on celebrating the positive team commitment. Now it's your duty as SM to steer that commitment in a positive direction. Remind the team that the DOD is...
Avi, Great advice. It points to a VERY important point. Don't your treat your original DOD as sacrosanct. Remove some of these if the team isn't ready for it....
Good points Jeff. This concept of progressively moving towards a great DoD is covered in the last two pages of the Scrum Guide. OTOH, I've never really...
My first thought is that the Scrum Master shouldn't allow the Team to present items to the customer as "completed" if they don't meet the DoD. It would...
Right, It's important to remember that the DoD grows and evolved incrementally, just like the backlog and like the team's own skills. For the backlog we have...
