“Doneness” is a word we created, i.e. When is something done? In order to know if something is “done,” one must have a metric by which to measure completeness. Sometimes this is also called an “exit criteria.” A quantitative list of deliverables expected when a body of work is completed. In the FTTM Methodology, the Doneness of each major program milestone is the starting place for planning. It is based on the concept of “Start with the end in mind.”
