What should be included in the Definition of Done?

Correct answer: A shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete

Option A is correct because the Definition of Done (DoD) is a shared, transparent understanding within the Scrum Team of what criteria must be met before an Increment is considered complete, ensuring consistent quality and transparency. Option B is incorrect because the DoD is not a release plan; decisions about what goes to production are separate concerns managed through the Product Backlog and Sprint Review. Option C is incorrect because incomplete tasks are tracked in the Sprint Backlog, not codified in the DoD, which defines completion criteria rather than in-progress work. Option D is incorrect because the DoD encompasses all quality criteria such as testing, documentation, and review standards, not merely the act of writing code.
