The operating question

Visibility is not more status updates. It is one place that answers what state an order is in and who acts next.

What to decide, in order

  1. Order state The handful of states that trigger an action, shown consistently.
  2. Exceptions Each exception carries an owner and a next step.
  3. Rollout Piloted with existing clients before general release.
