Do not start with screens before the workflow and data model are clear.
Web App Workflow Scope Checklist
Founders and operators planning a portal, dashboard, internal tool, or custom web application. Use this checklist before designing screens or estimating a web app build. It keeps the scope tied to workflow, records, permissions, integrations, and the operating decisions the app must support.
Checklist
- List the user roles and the decisions each role needs to make.
- Define the records, statuses, permissions, and admin controls the app needs.
- Map the systems the web app must read from or write to.
- Separate must-have first-release workflows from later convenience features.
- Document dashboards, exports, alerts, or reports leadership expects.
- Confirm staging, QA, source-code access, and launch ownership expectations.
Use the checklist to improve decisions before build
Admin controls are usually part of the product, not an afterthought.
Integrations should remove duplicate work, not create another place to check.
