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. Agree whether the evidence supports keeping, changing, or stopping the approach.
Document deployment, hosting, dependencies, and support. The product needs a maintenance owner after launch. Agree what the team receives if the supplier relationship ends.
Integration boundaries
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Set out the work, approval steps, and handover requirements in writing.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Check that a visitor can find the next action without guessing.
