Definition of Ready (DoR)

Definition of Ready (DoR)

• Are the Acceptance Criteria defined and understood?
__________________________________________________________
• Is the priority known

• Does the user story speak to the value being created
• Are the dependencies known/ understood? (to the our best knowledge)
• Is this user story estimated, understood and small enough to be completed in one Sprint
• Dev team accepts user experience artifacts - design linked in the User Story
• If there are validation rules, are they defined (UI, Data, Role-Action)? (validation specific)
• Change Management engaged
• Stakeholder approval

Is it clear whether this work is intended for deploy or limited/staged-release? (just added a note to note if feature flags are needed as well.)

- [ ] Is the design finalized?
- [ ] Do we know the source of the data?
- [ ] Do we know the code bases we will need to work on?
- [ ] How are we going to test this? Should not be up just to the developer ...
- [ ] Have we estimated the QA time?

- [ ] Business flow maps: do they exist and have they been referenced with respect to stories?

Thor's comments:
I think we need to define what us required for something to be ready, especially if everything we do is on the board.
What's the criteria we need to agree on before something enters a sprint?
Will something in a sprint be undefined, as items often are, so how do you determine the work is done?
Usually we craft these as a team, so in prep for that, I would like the DOR to state that it covers what the item's definition of done should be.

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reviewing the proposed checklist and its stated questions, then confirm the agreed Definition of Ready criteria and document the team-approved version, including how readiness relates to the Definition of Done.
