Options

  • ADoD is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment
  • BDoD ensures artifact transparency
  • CDoD helps to calculate velocity of the Scrum Team
  • DDoD helps in inspection and adaptation
  • EDoD guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select

Explanation

The Definition of Done (DoD) serves three primary purposes: (A) It defines when an Increment is considered complete and releasable — it is the acceptance criteria for 'done'; (B) It ensures artifact transparency by giving everyone a shared understanding of what 'done' means, making the Increment inspectable; and (E) It guides the Development Team in selecting how many Product Backlog items it can commit to during Sprint Planning, since the team must account for the effort required to meet the DoD. Option C (calculating velocity) is a secondary effect, not a stated purpose of DoD. Option D (inspection and adaptation) is a general Scrum principle, not a specific function of DoD.
