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 |
