Here is a simple check list for verifying a Story is ready for development.
- I have considered the high level design change for this story
- I know the code area which need to be modified / created for this story
- I have thought and considered the flow changes introduced by this story
- I have looked at the existing test automation for the current flow/behavior (as is)
- I have thought and described how I will validate the flow/behavior changes introduced by this story (to be)
- I understood all the current acceptance criteria (ACs) for this Story
- I am happy with the current ACs for this Story (I don’t see the need to create a new or remove any of the ACs for thÌs story)
- I thought about it, and I believe this story should not be split into smaller pieces
- I thought about it, and I believe this story should not be merged with another one
A missing checked item will trigger a Story huddle, and the story will not be considered ready for development.
