-When it comes to understanding and documenting requirements there always seems to be a discussion and room for improvement. In general we capture a user story in an automated tool with a summary / title and a description that has both the user story (“as a”, “I want”, “so that”) and a section describing the "Conditions of Satisfaction" (aka "Acceptance Criteria"). People wonder “how much is too much detail?” Others wonder whether they really understand the requirement in enough detail to do something useful. Still others think that we should write a complete specification.+When it comes to understanding and documenting requirements there always seems to be a discussion and room for improvement.

 One team I worked with recently ran an experiment using a slightly more formalized approach to capturing Acceptance Criteria (or Conditions of Satisfaction) which helped us understand the requirement, but also did not specify how solution was to be derived. At the time we were trying to solve a problem with the (acceptance) testing of the workflows but found that the solution we worked also helped us improve the discussion and collaboration around the requirements. One team I worked with recently ran an experiment using a slightly more formalized approach to capturing Acceptance Criteria (or Conditions of Satisfaction) which helped us understand the requirement, but also did not specify how solution was to be derived.
