The Definition of Ready (DoR) is determined in collaboration with the Scrum Master and remains unchanged throughout the project. True or False?

The Definition of Ready (DoR) is a collaborative agreement among the Scrum Team that outlines the criteria that a product backlog item must meet to be considered ready for the development team to start working on it. While it is established in collaboration with the Scrum Master and other team members, it is not intended to remain unchanged throughout the entire project.

The DoR can be iteratively refined based on team experiences, feedback, and evolving project needs. During the course of a project, as the team gains a better understanding of the work and the ways in which they can improve efficiency and output, adjustments to the DoR might be necessary. This adaptability allows the Scrum Team to ensure that the criteria for readiness align with their ongoing learning and the project’s requirements. Therefore, the statement that the Definition of Ready remains unchanged throughout the project is false.
