Definition of Done

You know that conversation where your customer asks you, “When will we be done?” in reference to the end goal of a project, and you look at them and say, “I dunno. When are we done?” Then you stare at each other and get frustrated? It’s happened to us all. You’ve been working on this project for six months and you realize no one knows where the end is. That’s the situation this session addresses.
