# Ticket Readiness

I note that AI products require additional clarity around: expected behavior, data needs, quality evaluation, hallucination handling, and safety considerations.

A Jira ticket can be marked “Ready” and still not be ready for development.

I noticed that Jira tickets marked “Ready” often still lack the shared understanding needed for developers to start work, especially when requirements flow quickly from Slack to Jira to Sprint.

- I split responsibility for ticket readiness:
- I adopted a “Ready for Development” checklist that must be satisfied before a ticket is considered Ready:

✅ Clear user story – I always make sure the story is explicitly written and validated before the sprint starts.

1. Clear user story
2. Acceptance criteria defined
3. Designs/API requirements available
4. Dependencies identified
5. Edge cases discussed
6. QA expectations clear
7. Story small enough for the sprint
8. Team understands what “Done” means
- PM defines problem, user, success criteria, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and edge cases.
- Scrum Master ensures team alignment, visibility of blockers, proper refinement discussion, story sizing, and protects the team from scope creep.
