Methodology
Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance Criteria is a methodology term PRO71 uses to explain delivery context and decision quality in practical language.
Definition
Acceptance Criteria is a practical term that helps PRO71 describe how a system, method, control, or business concept works in delivery. We define it in an implementation context so buyers and teams can connect the term to real decisions rather than abstract jargon.
In practical context
In PRO71 work, Acceptance Criteria matters when teams need to understand how the concept changes scope, quality, risk, or operating outcomes. We use the term to reduce ambiguity between business stakeholders and delivery teams.
Why it matters
Acceptance Criteria is most useful when it is tied to one real decision, not explained as an isolated definition.
Common misconceptions
Acceptance Criteria matters only to technical teams.
