    Title:
    When Do You Deliver Acceptance Criteria?
    Question:

    1.     If the user stories are brief enough to fit on a 3x5 card, how can Dev possibly have enough info to give you what you want? It seems like you'd need to define & deliver the acceptance criteria (sounds a lot like Requirements) up front before they start developing, rather than toward the end of the iteration.

      There must have been some confusion on this one during the webinar:(. Indeed acceptance criteria should be delivered along with the stories during the iteration planning, before the iteration starts.

      where should the Acceptance criteria be entered since there is no specific place to do so, along with the detail for the user story?

      We added acceptance criteria as a custom field in the user story view.
