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. Explain why a change was made, not just when it happened.
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 Louisville 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. Use verified business information when addressing the Louisville audience.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Keep a record of permission for any customer story used publicly.
