User Story/Bug/Task can be added to Sprint only if it conforms to the following criteria of Definition of Ready:

1. Requirements are clearly expressed by PO or any other reporter

Note: User Stories to be written according to the format outlined at "Development Backlogs → User stories" section.

  Bugs to be written according to the template.

Story Template

Purpose: Story context for casual viewers.  What is this story supposed to cover?  If it's just an initial iteration of a larger feature, make that clear here.

User story statement(s): The user story statement is optional and you'll notice that many of our stories don't contain them.  This is because, between the purpose and the scenarios, there is usually more than enough information to go on.  That said, including a user story statement is best practice and if you have them please include them.  They will take the format: As a < type of user >, I want < some goal > so that < some reason >

Scenarios: On FOLIO, acceptance criteria are written as scenarios using the "gherkin syntax" (given, when, then)

Attachments/links: Whenever possible, a UX mockup should be attached or linked to the user story.  If there are elements of the mockup that are out of scope for the story (for example, because the technical prerequisites are not in place), then they should be noted as "out of scope for this story"  

Link Story to the related UXPROD feature.
