READY READY DONE DONE

The team must create a potentially shippable or releasable product - we call this product 'done' when it meets a Definition of Done as agreed by the team and the product owner who represents the customers and stakeholders of the team... On the other end of a Scrum sprint, which we usually call the start of a sprint :-) we want to know what the team has to build, create or develop. In Scrum, XP (extreme programming) and some similar methods, this requirement is often expressed as a user story. A 'ready' user story (or requirement) is one that the team understand enough to estimate the scope and complexity and can start work... In Scrum we expect the Scrum team to create a working product at the end of each sprint.
