System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Acceptance criteria help teams articulate observable outcomes so milestones and user stories can be verified, reducing ambiguity and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces testability: each criterion is observable and verifiable.
  • Guides formatting and grain: favors checklist, Given/When/Then, rules-based, or quantitative formats depending on the scenario.
  • Scope management: recommends keeping a milestone to a practical number of criteria (e.g., up to five) and provides strategies to split or reframe when needed.
  • Use Case: product teams drafting milestones for a new feature should produce precise AC that stakeholders can validate in demos and tests.

Quick Start

Draft a concise, testable set of acceptance criteria for a milestone following the 5-AC guideline.
