Too often we label software “done” when it’s not tested, only partially documented and only half ready for release. We produce no business value, we pile on technical debt, and stakeholders have no confidence in our status reports.

In this webinar we’ll explore the “definition of done” – a way of focusing on business value while avoiding technical debt.

You will learn:

• How defining “done” focuses your team on business value
• How to develop and continuously improve your team’s definition of done
• How “done” differs at the story, iteration and release levels
• How to ensure regulatory and governance mandates are met
• How identifying impediments to “done” helps your team continuously improve

Presentation is intended for: IT, Dev, QA and project managers, directors and team members who need better skills in defining “done”, helping to balance project debt & risk, predictability and value delivery.

Presenter: Zach Nies, Chief Technology Officer, Rally Software
