Difference between the Definition of Ready(DOR) and Definition of Done(DOD)

 The key difference between the definition of ready and definition of done is that:

  • the definition of ready covers the requirements coming into the sprint
  • the definition of done covers the product coming out of the sprint.

So the definition of ready (DoR) applies to your user stories. It makes transparent your team’s shared understanding of what’s needed for a user story to be brought into a sprint.

The definition of done (DoD) applies to your working software. It makes transparent your team’s shared understanding of the quality standards a piece of work needs to reach to be releasable.
