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. Explain why a change was made, not just when it happened.
Prepare accurate distribution information, test credentials where needed, and a support contact. Review approval cannot be treated as an automatic release date. Choose a decision maker who can resolve conflicting feedback.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Detroit 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. Base local references on service coverage and customer needs, not invented examples.
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Confirm permissions before sharing customer information or assets.
