Comment “CLEAN AC” if you’re done dealing with devs saying “It should work now” while QA silently screams. 👇

Most sprint chaos doesn’t come from coding issues.
It comes from terrible acceptance criteria.
Last week, a client showed me ACs that literally said:
“User should be able to submit the form.”

No scenarios.
No edge cases.
No expected results.
And then they wondered why QA filed 14 bugs and the review turned into a blame-fest.

ACs aren’t decoration.
They’re the contract between business, dev, and QA.
Bad ACs =
❌ Endless back-and-forth
❌ Missed expectations
❌ “But that’s not what I meant…”
Good ACs =
✅ Alignment
✅ Faster sprints
✅ Zero surprises during demo
✅ A team that actually trusts each other
