What status indicates that a user story is ready for User Acceptance Testing (UAT)?

The status that indicates a user story is ready for User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is "Ready for UAT." This status signifies that the user story has completed all necessary development work and is now prepared for stakeholders or end users to validate the functionality against the requirements.

When a user story is marked as "Ready for UAT," it typically implies that all development tasks, coding, and initial testing phases have been finalized. It sets the expectation that the product is in a state where it can be reviewed by users to ensure it meets their needs and behaves as expected in a production-like environment.

In contrast, statuses such as "In Progress" indicate that work is still ongoing, while "Closed" implies that the user story has been completed and is no longer open for any further testing or revision. "Ready for Promotion" generally relates to a deployment process rather than the stage of user testing, making it unsuitable as an indicator for UAT readiness.
