Is it just me, or is the first example for "define what DONE means" a lot like the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" meme? Except for a small subset of tasks that are already trivial like migration work.
What I mean is, for most tasks I do that aren't trivial, by the time I have defined what DONE means, I would've already did the work and walked the path to get there, which is what I would've hoped to not have to do in the first place.

  ? so you start working on something without any idea what you will end up with ?

    Yes? Unless you're very early on your career, a big part of the work is figuring out requirements.
