Acceptance criteria in Scrum

The Product Owner creates something called the acceptance criteria, which is essentially the checklist you will use to decide whether the user story is done. To have a completed user story, you must meet the acceptance criteria checklist.

Here's an example of acceptance criteria for the bonsai tree user story.

- Users can: Browse for three different types of bonsai trees to purchase.

- Compare the three trees to know which is easiest and hardest to grow in their home.

- Maybe each plant has a beginner, intermediate, and advanced gardener notation next to it.

- Can purchase specific bonsai tree care packages like fertilizer, trimming shears, etc.

- Access online to a bonsai booklet sheet, as well as having a care booklet packaged with the tree.

- Can find a troubleshooting bonsai tree issues page on Virtual Verde's FAQ page.
