What should be in the specification for it to be ready for work? What is your definition of ready?

Definition of Ready (DoR) is a set of criteria that a specification or task must meet for the team to start its implementation without additional clarifications.

What should be in the specification to take it into work:

• Clear description of the task — what needs to be done, requirements, and constraints.
• Acceptance Criteria — specific conditions under which the task is considered completed.
• Technical details — necessary data, APIs, schemas, protocols, if applicable.
• Priority and estimate — how important the task is and an approximate estimate of effort.
• Absence of blockers — all external dependencies are resolved or known.
• Team understanding — all participants understand the task and agree on its scope.

If at least one of these points is missing, the task is usually returned for revision or clarification. This helps avoid wasting time on unclear requirements and improves the quality of development.
