system, all teams have to create a definition of done together. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Each System Increment is additive to all previous increments and has been thoroughly tested to ensure that all increments work together. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">More mature Teams are expected to adjust their respective Definition-of-done appropriately to ensure stricter criteria for higher quality. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">New entries in the Definition-of-done can result in work to be done being uncovered in earlier
