Definition of Done Canvas

by Rumors persist that in the next version of the Scrum Guide the Definition of “Done” (DoD) will move from enabling artifact transparency to becoming a primary artifact in its own right.

As the DoD is dynamic and is expected to change, therefore a DoD Canvas is a suitable way of enabling maturity towards new definitions as it is as simple as changing the stickies upon the canvas without affecting the rest of the DoD.

This is the definition of "Done" for the Scrum Team and is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.”

With the DoD Canvas in alignment to the Scrum Framework, we can observe that Scrum Teams can use this to transparently inspect and adapt their DoD.
