Third-Party Integration Readiness: Know What Breaks When the Vendor Blinks

A product depends on outside services for payments, maps, email, storage, analytics, or identity. Participants map one integration end to end, then simulate vendor downtime, credential expiry, schema changes, quota limits, delayed webhooks, and confusing support replies.

The session produces an integration readiness checklist: ownership, fallback behavior, monitoring, contract tests, escalation contacts, credential rotation, and what the user should see when the vendor is the problem.
