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.
Use business-owned distribution accounts and document approval, updates, monitoring, and support. Store release needs planning beyond the code. Keep approvals with someone who can confirm the business facts.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Kansas City 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. Limit account access to the people who need it.
