Plan for interrupted use
Connections fail, sessions expire, and users leave tasks unfinished. Decide what happens to pending work and show clear recovery steps instead of assuming every action succeeds immediately. Keep the next round of work small enough to assess clearly.
Document what existing apps fail to provide and which custom steps are essential. Build around the user task rather than novelty. Leave the team with a decision, an owner, and a review date.
Data and permissions
Collect only data needed for the task, document access roles, and plan deletion and recovery. Security should be considered while designing the workflow. Check the rights to photographs, quotations, and licensed material.
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. List the required outputs before setting the delivery schedule.
