EXERCISES EXERCISE 4 [Practice 5 - Quality] QUESTION: What is the role of DoD [Definition of Done] in evaluating the quality of deliverables? ANSWER: The Definition of Done sets the scope for evaluation: for a deliverable to be good enough, i.e. for its quality to be good enough, it has to be within the definition of done. In other words, the DoD contains what the quality is and how it is assessed by the client, i.e., what are the criteria for approval for the client.
