The definition of "Done"...

Raymond Lewallen has posted an interesting piece on the definition of "Done" (aka complete, finished, good-enough-lets-just-ship-the-thing-and-worry-about-bugs-later) in terms of Agile and Lean methodologies, and in terms of the value "Done" brings to a company.

One point I agree with wholeheartedly is this:

As the people who write software, we might not always be aware of the value a product provides to its company, thus we might not understand why certain feature sets are created before others and it might not make sense to us.
