Define completion clearly
Agree what a feature must do, how it will be tested, and what remains outside scope. Clear acceptance criteria help the team review delivery without relying on subjective impressions. Use dated records rather than relying on memory at the next review.
Prepare distribution assets, privacy information, versioning, and a tested update path. Keep signing and production access under business control. Keep approvals with someone who can confirm the business facts.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Bakersfield 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.
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Check access rights before giving another supplier an account login.
