Feedback
If the definition of "done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization,
all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it
with elements specific for the product or context.
If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the
Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product.
