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. Choose the next task from the review rather than repeating the calendar.
Use business-owned distribution accounts and document approval, updates, monitoring, and support. Store release needs planning beyond the code. Explain any licensing or platform limits before delivery.
Integration boundaries
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Agree which tasks are included and which need a separate quote.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Try the main customer task on a phone before signing off.
