How To Deprecate APIs the Right Way

The only certainty in software development is that requirements change. How many times has this happened to you? You start a project, develop an app to satisfy the requirements, release it, and everyone is happy. The product manager comes back and asks to add a new feature. Suddenly, you have to pass an extra parameter or change the name of a property. You make the change, and other parts of the app start erroring, even parts handled by other teams.
