Sketch the journey on paper
Screens, not features. Phone-sized boxes.
Draw the phone. Three boxes is plenty: arrive → act → done.
Example — Sunday rota:
- Arrive: this week’s names.
- Act: tap “I’m covering Saturday” (or just a note that says who to call — a form can wait).
- Done: the list looks different, or the person knows who to ring.
If step 2 needs a database you do not have, make step 2 “read the number and call”. Honest software beats a broken form.
Copy
Write the words on paper first. Use the language the user already uses. “Stock” or “crates” or “shift” — not “inventory module”.
