In any given project, required features are described in the form of User Stories. User Stories are specific requirements outlined by various business stakeholders as they pertain to the proposed product or service. Vabro helps teams to allot User Stories to particular members in a team. Each User Story will have associated User Story Acceptance Criteria which are objective components by which a User Story’s functionality is judged. Acceptance Criteria are developed by the Product Owner that a team member has to achieve to adjudge the User Story as success. Acceptance Criteria should explicitly outline the conditions that User Stories must satisfy. Vabro helps lay down all these features for simple and clear work allocation.

At the end of each Sprint, the Product Owner uses these criteria to verify the completed deliverables; and can either accept or reject individual deliverables and their associated User Stories. If deliverables are accepted by the Product Owner, then the User Story is considered Done. A clear definition of Done is critical because it helps clarify requirements and allows the team to adhere to quality norms. It also helps the team think from the user’s perspective when working with User Stories. Vabro lays down the definition of done along with the requirements that allows the team to adhere to established norms.

User Stories corresponding to rejected deliverables are added back to the Updated Prioritized Product Backlog during Refine Prioritized Product Backlog Process, to be completed in future Sprints. The rejection of few individual deliverables and their corresponding User Stories is not a rejection of the final product or product increment. The product or product increment could be potentially shippable even if a few User Stories are rejected. All these tasks are sorted in the Vabro tool. The Product Owner, Scrum Master, and the Scrum Team can look forward to these guidelines in the Vabro tool and clear the User Stories, leading to a successful Project completion and delivery.
