Definition of Done (DoD) refers to the collection of deliverables, which includes written codes, comments on coding, unit tests, integration testing, design documents, release notes, etc. This adds verifiable and demonstrable values to project development. DoD is very helpful to scrum while identifying the deliverables to achieve the objective of the projects .
It helps with :
* Defining the steps required to deliver the iteration
* The usage of appropriate tools like burndown to make the process more effective
* Ensuring on-time feedback throughout the project life cycle
* Ensuring the walkthrough of the product backlog items are done and understood correctly
* The creation of a checklist for the product backlog items
* Ensuring the DoD is defined to become task-oriented
* Involving the product owner for reviewing during the sprint and sprint retrospective
