Quality and the Definition of Done
Scrum teams have a definition of done based on consistent acceptance criteria. The definition of done drives the quality of work and will assess when a user story has been completed.
Quality is managed by the product owner, scrum master (facilitator-in-chief) and the development team. Quality is owned by all individuals whether it be through the execution of ceremonies, creation of measurable artifacts, or catching potential issues in the use of the scrum framework that could affect the product deliverable.
The Definition of Done (Dod) may contain different components of either quality assurance or quality controls depending on the phase or stage of product delivery. Quality assurance within an Agile scrum project delivery refers to the governance of processes and standards designed to provide support to the definition of done. Also, quality control is the execution of quality activities designed to manage the effort.
