What does DoD mean?
Definition of Done (DoD) refers to the collection of deliverables, which includes written codes, comments on coding, unit tests, integration testing, design documents, release notes, etc. This adds verifiable and demonstrable values to project development.

The creation of a checklist for the product backlog items
Ensuring the DoD is defined to become task-oriented
