33 - XWiki is flexible enough to become much more than a documentation system. With the right structure,
34 - custom applications and integrations, it can support internal processes that would otherwise be handled
35 - through spreadsheets, scattered documents, manual approvals or disconnected tools.

181 - <h2 id="process-title">A practical development approach</h2>
182 -
183 - <p>
184 - XWiki development works best when the solution fits the platform instead of fighting it. The goal is
185 - to build features that are useful for business users while remaining understandable, maintainable and
186 - compatible with future upgrades.
187 - </p>
188 -
189 - <p>
190 - Development can start with a small improvement, a prototype or a full application. The important part is
191 - to clarify the business process, model the information correctly and choose the right technical level:
192 - configuration, scripting, extension development, external integration or AI-assisted knowledge access.

194 - </div>
195 -
196 - <ol class="process-list">

199 - Clarify users, roles, data, statuses, permissions, outputs, notifications and expected decisions.
200 - </li>
201 - <li>
202 - <strong>Design the XWiki model</strong>
203 - Define the right structure using pages, spaces, XClasses, templates, sheets, rights and views.
204 - </li>
205 - <li>
206 - <strong>Choose the implementation level</strong>
207 - Decide whether the feature should be built with configuration, scripting, Java components or a packaged extension.
208 - </li>
209 - <li>
210 - <strong>Build and validate iteratively</strong>
211 - Implement the feature in manageable steps and validate it with real usage scenarios.
212 - </li>
213 - <li>
214 - <strong>Document and prepare for maintenance</strong>
215 - Leave clear notes about configuration, custom code, assumptions and future improvement areas.
