Treat integration as a dependency
Confirm data formats, authentication, limits, and failure behavior for connected systems. An integration should have test cases and an owner rather than remain a vague item in the feature list. Document what was tested and what the team learned.
Handle duplicate requests, edits, permissions, and audit needs. Confirm how records are recovered after a failed operation. Agree who can make decisions before the schedule is set.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Los Angeles 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. Review how customers in Los Angeles contact the business and receive a reply.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Use only the customer information needed for the agreed work.
