The Definition of Done Alignment Workshop
Eliminate 'it works on my machine'. Get everyone on the same page regarding quality.
About this session
Development cycles often stall when work marked as finished still requires unexpected testing, documentation, or bug fixes. This workshop replaces the 'it works on my machine' excuse with a unified quality standard that every team member understands and accepts before the next sprint begins.
Why it works
The session forces hidden assumptions into the open by moving from individual perspectives to a collective negotiation of quality. This process transforms abstract expectations into a concrete, binary checklist, ensuring that the final agreement is a practical tool used in daily work rather than a forgotten document.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
