Questions
The strongest first release usually completes one full lifecycle from onboard vendors and products to settle, return, and review. It should include the minimum administration, notification, and reporting needed to operate that journey.
Roles are modelled around allowed actions and data scope. Sensitive transitions in modules such as customer storefront can require explicit approval, audit history, or additional verification.
Payments and Shipping are assessed for ownership, failure handling, data synchronization, and security. Integration scope is phased according to launch dependency rather than added as an unbounded checklist.
