Phase 01
Foundation
- c1high2-3 days
Define goals and KPIs (Traveltech)

- c3critical1 day
Audit current state (Traveltech)
Inventory competitor traveltech offerings: OTA integrations, map data providers, hotel APIs, flight aggregators. Document costs and latency for each critical integration.
Phase 02
Execution
- c4medium1 week
Prioritize high-impact tasks (Traveltech)

- c5high2-3 days
Assign owners and deadlines (Traveltech)
Assign sprint leads for booking integration, payment handling, and itinerary rendering. Set sprint velocity targets and daily stand-ups to keep traveltech dependencies on track.

Phase 03
Launch & Review
- c7high2-3 days
Ship and verify (Traveltech)
Beta-launch with 20 travel bloggers and frequent business travelers. Measure booking success rate, time-in-app, and willingness to recommend. Fix integration failures immediately.
