AI Broke Your Definition of Done

Ask a Scrum team what "done" means, and you'll get a clean answer. The Scrum Guide calls the definition of done "a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product." Reviewed, tested, merged, deployable. Check the boxes, and you're done.

I've shipped software for more than 20 years, across three companies I founded and sold, and I think that definition is quietly wrecking products. It was always incomplete. What's new is that AI just made it useless, because the one thing it actually measured is now the one thing machines do best.
