Definition of done

The explicit, testable condition that says a work item is complete; it differs by story type (for an experiment, a validly run test plus a documented result and a decision; for a model-performance story, the metric hit in a production-like environment), and a vague one is a common cause of sprint-review disputes.

Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Transformation Professional (CATP).

How each discipline defines it

The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

The explicit, testable condition that says a work item is complete; it differs by story type (for an experiment, a validly run test plus a documented result and a decision; for a model-performance story, the metric hit in a production-like environment), and a vague one is a common cause of sprint-review disputes.

Certified AI Practitioner: Workplace Foundations

The explicit, checkable statement of when a task is complete and correct, set in the handoff brief and serving as the final quality gate. "When it looks right" is not a definition of done.
