Explanation

Sashimi is an Agile concept borrowed from the Japanese dish where each slice of fish is complete and ready to eat on its own. In software development, it means each feature or story should be a thin, vertical slice that is fully functional end-to-end (UI through database), rather than building horizontal layers (e.g., completing all database work, then all logic, then all UI). This contrasts with a 'layer cake' approach. Definition of Done defines completion criteria; Value Mapping and Lean Value are different concepts.
