hi
I' m wondering why the DOD is not listed as a regular scrum artifact, but listed separately as a "transparency artifact" in the scrum guide.
Transparency (together with inspection and adaption) is rooted into the ceremonies and artifacts, since empiricism is the foundation for Scrum. I.e. the sprint backlog provides transparency, the backlog contributes to transparency, etc. I have trouble in understanding the need for a separate "transparency artifact".
I have experienced that every word in the scrum guide has been carefully chosen, so placing the DOD outside of the regular list of artifacts will have a good reason. I need some help in understanding why.
Any idea on this is much appreciated.
thanks
