Teams on the city housing-voucher ART each call stories done against different bars and skip a shared Definition of Done. What basic Agile quality practice should the RTE reinforce?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If every voucher team has a different meaning of done, the city is comparing apples to unprocessed applications. A shared Definition of Done is the common finish line so an increment is actually usable, not just coded. Without it, quality is a rumor.
Full Explanation
A shared Definition of Done is a basic Agile quality practice that sets the same completion bar across teams on the ART. On a housing-voucher train, inconsistent done criteria make ART PI Objectives, System Demos, and release decisions unreliable. The RTE reinforces a common DoD covering tests, integration, and other quality checks appropriate to the solution. Team-private bars, vendor invoices, and once-a-year DoD invention do not provide that bar.
