Control the maintenance burden
Frameworks, libraries, devices, and operating systems change. Document dependencies and update responsibilities so ongoing compatibility is part of the plan rather than an unexpected expense. Choose the next task from the review rather than repeating the calendar.
Test staff and customer roles using realistic records. Sensitive information should not appear merely because a screen is hidden in navigation. Make sure the business can retrieve its own data.
Data and permissions
Collect only data needed for the task, document access roles, and plan deletion and recovery. Security should be considered while designing the workflow. Use only the customer information needed for the agreed work.
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Confirm the output, owner, and review date for each task.
