Definition Of Ready

The definition of ready is a Scrum term that refers to the criteria that should be met before an item is "worked on". Typically it means that the item is fully refined and requires little or no additional information outside the task itself in order to complete.

• Acceptance Criteria defined
  • what is the new feature intended to do or enable?
  • can include non-functionals (e.g. performance)
• No unresolved external dependencies
• Small enough to complete in a few days
