What is The Real Value of working in ‘Done Things?'

It’s too easy to let ourselves off the hook if we work to vague objectives.
It’s even easier to let ourselves off the hook if we don’t have measurable targets at the micro level. We can just say ‘workin’ on it'
When something is Done, it is largely self reporting because it is obvious if something is complete or not. Partial states make it very hard to spot trouble early
Done things are also ready to use - ready to ship to the customer or another team member.
In general, done things force a (good) kind of accountability and visibility on a team’s work
