Can the Definition of Done change?
Yes! It’s normal for the DoD to be refined as the team matures and the team’s understanding of the product and how to build it improves. When the team begins work on the complex problem put in front of them, they may not know how to articulate all the quality characteristics needed for the final product. But they’ll start with what they know and will continue to refine the DoD over time.
