Description

Each ("User") Story that we work on has a basic requirement which is captured in the story.
However in order to _satisfy_ that requirement we need a _precise_ "***Acceptance Criteria***".

What are _good_ examples of Acceptance Criteria and _where_ should we keep them?

My _suggestion_ is that we keep the Acceptance Criteria as a _checklist_ in the ***first*** Comment of the GitHub issue so that _everyone_ is ***clear*** where to look for the criteria; the added advantage is that we get the "_progression_":

So _everyone_ can see at a _glance_ in the backlog (_issue_) "_list_" view how much is still required to complete the story.

_Thoughts_?
Suggestions welcome! 👍
