definition of ready scrum code example

Example: definition of ready example scrum

Basic Example of a Definition of Ready for Scrum:

 1. Well-defined User stories / Issues
    * No misinterpretations
    * No hidden work
	* Measureable: An issue/item should have a size relative to other issues/items
	* Testable: Clear acceptance criteria
	* Realizable within one sprint/timebox
	* Adding helpful resources (optional, desirable)
	* Formulating in Gherkin language (optional, desirable)
	
 2. Requirements & Dependencies
    * Layouts/Mockups should be finished and not changed anymore
    * Communication to internal/external stakeholders should have already occured
	* There should not be any dependencies to other issues, stories or projects

 3. Prioritizing the sprint backlog
 4. No mandatory agreements outside the sprint backlog
 5. All team members have calculated their individual capacity for the sprint

These considerations are often summarized as the "INVEST criteria", and they provide us with a useful Definition of Ready which can be applied to Product Backlog Items. By actively participating in Product Backlog refinement, a good Development Team will collaborate with the Product Owner in making sure that a standard such as this is observed.

I (Independent). The PBI should be self-contained and it should be possible to bring it into progress without a dependency upon another PBI or an external resource.
N (Negotiable).  A good PBI should leave room for discussion regarding its optimal implementation.
V (Valuable).    The value a PBI delivers to stakeholders should be clear.
E (Estimable).   A PBI must have a size relative to other PBIs.
S (Small).       PBIs should be small enough to estimate with reasonable accuracy and to plan into a time-box such as a Sprint.
T (Testable).    Each PBI should have clear acceptance criteria which allow its satisfaction to be tested.
