App-first piping documentation

Glossary

Key terms

Keep the vocabulary simple, stable, and easy to reuse in a rollout review.

Live record

The current version of the job record that everyone should trust.

Handoff

The point where the team moves the work into review or closeout.

Export

The file or report the team uses outside the app.

Rollout

The first phase of putting the app into real use.

Section 01

Use plain terms

The glossary is meant to remove noise, not add another layer of software vocabulary.

  • One word for the current record.
  • One word for the review step.
  • One word for the final export.

Section 02

Keep the terms stable

If the wording keeps changing, the team ends up translating the app instead of using it.

  • Short definitions.
  • Same meaning across pages.
  • Easy to copy into internal notes.

Section 03

Next decision to make

Use the checklist or the Excel comparison once the language is clear.

  • Onboarding checklist
  • Excel comparison
  • Pricing

Questions teams ask before rollout

Who needs the glossary?

Anyone comparing the app with current spreadsheet or manual work should use it first.

Why keep the definitions short?

Short definitions are easier for teams to remember and easier to reuse in reviews.

Next decision

Check the main rollout risk before the team starts

Go next to the onboarding checklist or timing benchmark if the team still needs to test the rollout plan.
