Situation
An internal web system works at a desk but is difficult to use in the field. The goal is not to copy every screen into an app; it is to support a small set of high-value mobile tasks reliably.
Readiness milestone
We inspect authentication, API consistency, file access and permission checks. Gaps that would make a mobile release unsafe are fixed before interface implementation.
Product milestone
- Prioritise three to five field workflows
- Design touch, camera and intermittent-network behaviour
- Reuse backend validation and permission rules
- Add upload progress, retry and conflict feedback
- Produce platform-specific release and privacy checklists
Acceptance evidence
The build is tested at narrow and wide breakpoints, under slow-network simulation, with expired sessions and failed uploads. The app is accepted against workflow completion rather than screen count.
