Benchmark Drift: Why Acceptance Criteria Age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey friend,One unchanged acceptance criterion can stall your renewal.That sounds unfair at first.Your device has not changed. Manufacturing is steady. The complaint rate is flat. The acceptance criteria sailed through review five years ago.Then the questions arrive.Picture the team opening that email. A PDF is attached. Someone reads the question twice. Around the table, the first reaction is confusion: how can a threshold that was accepted before suddenly become a problem now?That moment carrie
