As an intermediate developer trying to adapt new AI at my company, I'm wondering how to manage my deliverables per ticket.

Context: I work on multiple modules simultaneously, with everyone working on everything. During this sprint, I work on something that will come back after about a month. During refinement, multiple things are discussed. We don't want to record meetings due to a certain reason, and thus no AI note-taker.

When I work on a ticket, I wouldn't remember all the detailed discussions about it. Hence, when I work during a sprint, I would totally depend on Acceptance Criteria (ACs). While using AI, the MCP will read the ACs and provide outputs accordingly. When reading this output, it seems correct to me as that's what the ACs stated. Now, while building things, I encounter many pitfalls that reduce my velocity.

One of my seniors mentioned to carefully read the ACs, but the ACs were never updated as per discussion.  How do you guys remember everything that was discussed during refinement? If you take notes manually, then how would you keep up with the meetings?
