Ready to implement state

“

- Over the project's timeline, most identified stories will become highly prioritized and ordered towards the top of the backlog. Once a story is high in priority and a candidate to pull into the next iteration or two, it needs to be in the state ready to implement. For the story to be in this state, the team must invest time to discuss it, and acceptance criteria must be written. Stories that meet a team's definition of ready are ready to be implemented. This helps ensure that the team has a high level of confidence and probability that if they pull a story into the workflow, they understand what is needed. The product owner constantly refines the backlog, and the team collaborates towards the end of each iteration to ensure readiness to move into the next iteration. This workflow is perpetual for the remainder of the project.
