With the help of an AI, I started understanding the process. Breaking the application into some tasks, explaining what each task will need to be completed, and asking to generate a description and acceptance criteria for each one

Prompt:

Hello, I need help to generate the Users History for a personal project. Is a Food Order App that I'm building the frontend from scratch. I'm also trying to work with the idea of having a board, with the tasks managing every step that I take to build consistency in the development process. So I have those steps:

• Build the component for the product list. Fetching the data. To validate, I will display a simple list for every product name.
• Build the product Card. Will receive the product as a prop, then display the image, price, description, and have a button to Add To Cart
• Build the Cart Modal. Will be a Modal that will list the product name and price of each product, with the option to increment or decrement the quantity. Below the increment/decrement section will be the total value, and two buttons: one for closing the modal, and the other for proceeding to checkout.
• Build the Checkout Modal. Will be a modal with a form for filling the user information, with the form correctly filled, so will have to manage the form validation also. The user can click on Submit Order, which will fetch a post, and then we will show a modal informing whether the order submission succeeded or failed.

Now, imagine yourself as a Product Owner for this project, and you have this basic information about each task. You need to create a better description and acceptance criteria for each one of them.

First response:

Great approach 👌 — treating this like a real product with a task board will absolutely help with consistency and quality.

Below, I’ll act as a Product Owner and rewrite each task as a clear user story, followed by detailed acceptance criteria. I’ll keep things realistic but not over-engineered, so they fit well in a frontend-focused personal project.

1️⃣ Product List – Fetch & Display Products

User Story

As a user,

I want to see a list of available food products,

so that I can browse what is available to order.

Description

This task focuses on integrating the product data source and rendering a basic product list.

The goal is to validate the data flow from the API to the UI before working on visual details or interactions.

The product list will fetch data when the page loads and display a simple list of product names. No styling or interactions are required at this stage.

Acceptance Criteria

• The product list fetches data from the products API on initial render.
• While data is being fetched, a loading state is displayed.
• If the request fails, an error message is shown to the user.
• Once the data is successfully fetched:
  • A list of product names is rendered.
  • Each product is rendered using a unique key.
• No product card layout or actions are required in this step.
• The component does not crash if the API returns an empty list.
