Start with the user's task
Define the problem a user needs to solve before listing screens or features. Check the current process, the devices involved, and the places where an app would remove real effort. Document what was tested and what the team learned.
Explain device permissions when the related feature is used. The app should handle refusal without confusing the user. Separate production, approval, and publishing responsibilities.
Make the plan fit your market
Discuss whether users in Pittsburgh 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.
Describe users, tasks, data, and acceptance criteria before choosing technology. A short working prototype can reveal workflow problems earlier than a detailed visual design. Use only the customer information needed for the agreed work.
