Test a small working path
Build and review one complete task before extending the feature list. A working path exposes missing data, confusing steps, and integration limits earlier than a collection of isolated screens. Keep the original result alongside the updated version.
Document deployment, hosting, dependencies, and support. The product needs a maintenance owner after launch. Agree who can make decisions before the schedule is set.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Arlington need appointments, field-service access, local inventory, or delivery features. Use the actual workflow to decide whether location data is necessary; do not request device permissions merely because the app serves a local market. Check that location references reflect how the business actually operates.
Separate essential tasks from later features. Build the smallest release that can be used and evaluated, with explicit exclusions and a change process. Use only the customer information needed for the agreed work.
- Current accounts and assets
