What can go wrong if there is no lifecycle management ?
● Martin won’t be able to maintain a draft version until the app is ready to be reviewed
● Tim won’t be able to govern the quality of the published apps
● Martin might accidently edit a published app
● Beth might subscribe to an app which is not meant to be subscribed anymore
● Tim won’t be able to gracefully take his app down when the time comes

24. Not happy with the existing lifecycle management process ?
Extend !

25. Extend the approval workflow
