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. Note changes in budget, capacity, and offers when reviewing performance.
Handle duplicate requests, edits, permissions, and audit needs. Confirm how records are recovered after a failed operation. Document responsibilities so delivery does not depend on assumptions.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Philadelphia 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.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Keep private account details out of public briefs and examples.
