A practical checklist covering features, user roles, API integrations, security and maintenance before starting a custom web app project.
What problem should the application solve?
Map the current workflow and the cost of manual steps first. Define features afterwards so the project addresses a useful business problem.
Which roles and permissions do you need?
Separate administrator, staff and customer actions. Enforce data access on the backend; hiding a feature in the interface is not an access control.
Which integrations need early review?
List external systems, APIs, data sources, authentication methods, rate limits and error-handling needs. Arrange access to test environments before dependent development begins.
What should the first release deliver?
The MVP should complete the most important workflow end to end, with logging and a testable outcome. Less frequent exceptions and convenience features can follow later.
