Quality

realize the business value the customer expects.

Key Points

  • Quality means deliverables satisfy acceptance criteria and lead to the expected customer value.
  • In agile, quality is built in through clear acceptance criteria and a strong Definition of Done.
  • Acceptance criteria provide testable conditions to confirm requirements are met.
  • Business value is validated by outcomes such as improved user satisfaction, revenue impact, or efficiency gains.

Example

A Scrum team delivers a new checkout flow that passes all acceptance tests and reduces cart abandonment by the forecasted 15%, confirming it meets acceptance criteria and delivers the anticipated business value.
