The document discusses how teams at The Economist online work incrementally and iteratively on the same codebase to improve the site, with releases every Tuesday. It focuses on the importance of having a definition of "Done" and explains that for their teams, a story is Done when it has been implemented, verified through manual testing, validated by the product owner, and ready to be released to production. Defining and achieving Done increases productivity and allows for early delivery of business value and feedback. The teams use tools like Bazaar, Launchpad, Hudson and EC2 to manage their workflow, do peer reviews, and set up test instances for user stories.

On the importance of done
- 24. How we get stuff Done
Editor's Notes
- Stranger in a Strange Land : Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience.
- We prioritize our work based on perceived ROI
- How we get stuff DONE and release it every week, coordinating the efforts of three teams in three locations running different sprint schedules using Bazaar and Launchpad
- Verified: Human (manual) tests performed; passing (i.e. story meets "how to demo" description)
- Validated: Accepted by the Product Owner (according to "how to demo" description); feature can be used as intended Feature is ready to be released into the live environment (i.e. no further development work required)
