Collaborative Leadership Team’s Dean Gabbert, Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Product Owner, shares what he has learned about Scrum’s Definition of Done from the simple task of doing laundry.

Not so long ago, I was having a conversation with a colleague about an Agile team that I was coaching.  I was describing my observations and thoughts about the team’s dynamic and why this was causing stress for them.  I then asked my colleague, “Does that make sense?”. I had hoped for insight, inspiration or a “coach the coach” moment.   The response I got was not what I expected.  I received a 10-minute soliloquy on the difference between the questions, “Does that make sense?” vs. “Do you understand?”

One question Christian Antoine, Scrum Trainer and Coach, frequently hears from leadership as an organization begins their Agile journey is “Does Agile or Scrum require an organization restructure?”
