When Done is Too Hard

"The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of "Done" product at the end of each Sprint." — The Scrum Guide

The Scrum Guide is markedly ambitious in the standard of professionalism it demands of a team. Development Team members must be self-organizing and cross-functional, to the point that they will repeatedly and sustainably create a valuable product increment — fit for immediate release — in no more than one calendar month. All of the design, coding, testing, and integration work for the increment must be completed in each Sprint time-box, with none of that work left undone. This cannot be dismissed as an idle gloss of how Scrum might arguably function in an idealized scenario. The Scrum Guide provides the actual specification of the Scrum Framework, all of which must be implemented in its entirety. If any element or rule is elided then the result is not Scrum.
