What makes a task ready for development?
A good task does not need to be long. It needs a clear outcome, scope, expected behaviour and enough detail to verify the result.
What are acceptance criteria?
Acceptance criteria are testable conditions that show when the requested work is done. They describe the result, not every implementation step.
Definition of Ready vs acceptance criteria
Definition of Ready asks whether work can start. Acceptance criteria ask how the team will know the work is complete.
Why unclear tickets cost time
Missing decisions lead to follow-up questions, hidden assumptions, rework and unreliable estimates.
