1. Does your team need to discuss working agreements for what “done” means for a story or an interim release?
2. Consider how often you can release and have your customers update their product.
3. Check with your team and see if it has considered technical excellence for its story-done criteria. Sometimes just asking that question helps the team think more about technical excellence.

Now your team knows what “done” means. It’s time to discuss the measurements the team can use for itself and for status reporting.
