The benefit hypothesis and acceptance criteria are the criteria that must be satisfied before a Feature
can flow from the analysis state to the backlog state on an ART Kanban. The benefit hypothesis and
acceptance criteria are part of the definition of a Feature, which represents a solution functionality
that delivers business value and fulfills a stakeholder need. The benefit hypothesis states the
expected outcome and benefit of implementing the Feature, while the acceptance criteria define the
conditions that must be met for the Feature to be accepted by the stakeholders. The benefit
hypothesis and acceptance criteria help to clarify the scope, value, and quality of the Feature, and to
guide the implementation and validation of the Feature.
