Let's focus on non-software - let's consider a people recruitment process as an example.   

What does "done" mean? Valuable, useful, and usable in Scrum, whatever the organization/team decides it is. 

"When someone's need was met" in Agendashift. Maybe a near to exit stage on a Kanban board... 

 How is "done" different from acceptance criteria for a Scrum product backlog item or subtasks on a Kanban work item?

Projects are artificial constructs to get money to get some work done. Key metric include time, scope, and cost. Products don't have scope. Scrum is for product development and works even better with Lean UX and Kanban as a powerful combination. Should we set up Scrum Teams dedicated to projects?
