Explanation
The Definition of Done (DoD) is a shared checklist of quality criteria that a user story must satisfy before it can be considered complete and releasable. When a customer finds a story unfit for use, the team should audit it against the DoD to identify which acceptance criteria, testing steps, or quality gates were skipped. The Definition of Ready (DoR) governs what conditions must exist before a story enters a sprint - not after it is built. Burndown and velocity charts are metrics tools, not quality checklists.
