What is Definition of Ready?
Definition of Ready describes the conditions a backlog item should meet before the team starts implementation.
Checklist builder
Build lightweight Definition of Ready and Definition of Done checklists your team can actually use.
StoryPointLab tool
Create clear, reusable checklists to align your team before and after development.
Checklists work best when teams can edit them quickly and keep the conversation focused.
Switch between ready and done, tweak the list, then save a reusable version when it feels right.

Actions
Use it live in a meeting, then save the version that feels right.
Definition of Ready describes the conditions a backlog item should meet before the team starts implementation.
Definition of Done describes the quality bar a team expects before work is considered complete.
They reduce ambiguity, help teams align faster, and make delivery quality less dependent on memory.
DoR and DoD serve different moments in the workflow. Every team benefits from a DoD, and both can evolve over time as the team matures.
