The Definition of Done (DoD) is a critical concept in product management and software development. It represents the set of criteria that must be met for a task or user story to be considered complete. Imagine you're baking a cake. The DoD would be the checklist of everything that needs to be done before you can say the cake is finished - mixing the ingredients, baking it to the right temperature, and applying the icing. Similarly, in product management, the DoD ensures that the product meets all the necessary requirements, is thoroughly tested, and ready to be released.
