The Definition of Done creates transparency (A) by providing a shared, objective standard for what 'complete' means. The Product Owner can trust that anything meeting the DoD is genuinely done and potentially releasable, enabling accurate stakeholder communication and informed release decisions. Reprimanding for velocity (B) is contrary to Scrum values and not a purpose of DoD. Predicting delivery over the next three Sprints (C) is product roadmap planning, not a DoD function. Predicting productivity (D) is a side effect of consistent velocity, not the purpose of the DoD.
