DoD singular
DoDs plural

Morphology

DoD = Definition of Done (semi-transparent) = D + o + D

As an initialism for a technical term, 'DoD' is interpretable only when the learner knows the agile phrase; it is not produced by standard English morphology.

Etymology

DoD in software stands for Definition of Done, which is the team's clear list of checks that makes a task 'done'. Thinking of done as 'finished' helps: the DoD tells everyone what 'finished' must include before work is released.
