Field notes

What happens between a prototype and production software

A working demonstration answers one question. An operating system needs a few more answered.

Test the workflow with its actual users

A prototype shows whether an approach is useful. Have the people doing the work try normal cases, incomplete inputs and exceptions before treating the flow as settled.

Make the connections dependable

Production needs reliable access, refresh behavior and failure handling. Confirm what happens when a source is late, unavailable or changed.

Define access and approval

Agree who can see, edit, approve and administer the system. Set the boundaries with the teams responsible for identity and data handling.

Plan the rollout and the fallback

Test representative data, train the owners and agree how to handle problems during rollout. Decide what happens to the old workflow and how to recover if a connection fails.

Name the people who operate it

Document maintenance, support and recurring costs. Ownership should include the practical ability to keep the software useful after launch.
