DONE vs. Done-Done: Stop the Sprint-End Scramble! (And What Developers Should Really Be Doing)

Kate Megaw

Stop the Madness!  You’ve coded like a rockstar, but the sprint clock is ticking, and QA is still pounding away!  This episode tears down the biggest myth in Scrum: the phantom finish line.

Is it "done" or is it "done-done with a big D"?  We're dropping the truth bomb: it's either done, or it's not done!  Period.  Get ready to smash the silos, ditch the "I'm done my bit" mindset, and transform your team into a Done-Achieving Machine!

Discover the root causes of that agonizing sprint-end stall, why starting the next sprint is the LAST thing you should do, and how shifting to M-shaped individuals is your team's superpower.  Learn practical, high-impact strategies for Product Owners and Development Teams to size work effectively, eliminate iterative waterfall, and ensure every feature is truly shippable and usable.
