In Agile project management, particularly within the Scrum framework, the Definition of Done (DoD) is a crucial checklist that ensures all necessary work on the product increment has been completed. By incorporating documentation into the DoD, the project team is required to update documentation consistently as part of their sprint deliverables. This approach ensures that documentation is treated with the same priority as other sprint tasks and is completed alongside the development of value-added features, rather than being postponed or overlooked.
References: = The importance of including documentation in the DoD is supported by Agile best practices, which emphasize the need for comprehensive and up-to-date documentation as part of the project deliverables12. Additionally, the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide) highlights the significance of maintaining accurate and current documentation throughout the project lifecycle34.
