How to Make "Done" Mean Done

---

Season 8 Episode 9

---

A clear definition of done can make or break a project. In this episode, How to Make "Done" Mean Done, I share lessons from projects where success was obvious, as well as moments where even well written requirements failed to reflect what the customer really needed or what the leader intended. I also talk through how expectations get added quietly, why shadow scope appears, and how to protect the finish line so teams can deliver with confidence.

What You Will Learn:

• How to define done based on outcome, not activity
• How to translate requirements into real customer needs
• How to align what done means for each stakeholder group
• How to prevent shadow scope and last minute additions
• How to call work finished and protect your team’s momentum
