2.5DoD Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern Problem Fix
DoD exists but nobody follows it It is decoration, not a standard Review DoD in every sprint review
DoD is too long (20+ items) Team ignores most of it Focus on 8-10 high-impact items
DoD does not include testing "Done" means "code written, not tested" Add specific test criteria (unit, integration, exploratory)
DoD is static Team maturity changes but DoD does not Review and update quarterly
Different DoD per person Inconsistent quality One team, one DoD
DoD is just a Jira checklist Checked off without actually doing the work Spot-check: randomly audit stories for DoD compliance
