# Definition of Ready The Definition of Ready (DoR) is a checklist that ensures a User Story has been sufficiently refined, understood, and prepared before it is accepted into a development sprint. It confirms that the team has everything needed, including clear scope and acceptance criteria, to immediately begin coding and testing the item. ## Our Definition of ready - Story has been given points. - Everyone understands the goal, scope, and expected outcome. - Testing strategy is defined (default is unit tests only). - Design assets are available in Figma (for UI stories). - Dependencies are identified (blocked by relation).
