Done means released. Everything else is inventory.
The article discusses the concept of Continuous Delivery (CD) in software development, emphasizing that 'done' means released to end users. It highlights the importance of separating deployment and release as distinct events, with deployment being a technical action and release being a business decision. The author argues that organizations often create barriers to implementing CD without thoroughly examining these obstacles.
- ▪Continuous Delivery ensures that the code is always in a deployable state, allowing for on-demand releases.
- ▪Deployments and releases are separate events; deployment is a technical action while release is a human decision.
- ▪The article emphasizes that unreleased stories should be a conscious decision, not an oversight.
