Acceptance Criteria

Definition

The clear conditions a feature must meet to be considered finished and working as intended.

Why it matters

Acceptance criteria prevent misunderstandings by defining exactly what done looks like before work begins.

Example

The acceptance criteria for a login feature state that users must be able to reset a forgotten password.
