COMPLETION CHECKLIST

Definition of Done Builder

Turn a task or feature description into a completion checklist covering behavior, tests, review, documentation, and deployment — so 'done' means the same thing to everyone on the team.

  • Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
  • Instant result with practical next steps

Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

How it works

1

Describe the task and its acceptance criteria

Name the task, the expected behavior, testing approach, reviewers, documentation needs, and deployment target.

2

Get a scored, ordered checklist

The checklist always covers behavior, testing, review, documentation, and deployment — filled in with your specifics rather than generic placeholders.

3

Spot rigor gaps before merge

A rigor score flags when testing is manual-only, no reviewer is named, or documentation is skipped, so lightweight tasks stay lightweight and risky ones do not.

Frequently asked questions

Is this checklist the same for every task?

The five categories (behavior, testing, review, documentation, deployment) are constant, but every item is filled in from what you enter — it is not a generic template.

Should I use this for every single commit?

No — use it at the task or feature level, not per commit. Small tasks may reasonably score lower on rigor (for example, manual testing only) without that being a problem.

Does a lower score mean the task is not done?

No. The score reflects how much rigor is built into your checklist (automated tests, a named reviewer, documentation, production deployment), not whether the task is complete. A low-risk task can validly ship with a lightweight checklist.

Can this replace my team's existing Definition of Done?

Treat it as a starting draft to adapt, not a replacement for a team-agreed standard. Team-wide Definition of Done should still be agreed once and referenced, not regenerated per task.
