Mobile application development is a relatively new concept for many organizations and companies. Hence, many organizations are facing challenges while initiating mobile applications development projects.

The following are the three important challenges faced by the organizations:

  • Heads of mobile applications development often do not realize that using the same approach and process for developing desktop applications do not work with developing mobile applications.
  • Mobile app development and business leaders mostly focus on taking strategic mobile app decisions. They often ignore taking tactical decisions.

In this post, we present to you how to begin with application development roadmap correctly.

1.    Communicate with stakeholders

You must identify all the key stakeholders and identify what you need from them. Your key stakeholders include your direct line of report, key users of your mobile apps, your peers and also service providers and important vendors. The following are two important measures that you can take for generating value:

  • Create a stakeholder analysis worksheet: You must use this worksheet as a tool to gather and analyze key information about your business users.
  • Meet and greet your team: You can call a meeting for everyone or your mobile development team, in person and through video conferencing. This meeting shows that you are approachable and available to everyone and also conveys your vision and goals to all relevant people.

2.    Define a mobile baseline

While creating a mobile baseline, your goal must be to gain a comprehensive insight into the history and current state of mobile development within the organization. This action emphasizes on making and refining first impressions, and collecting data. The following are two important measures that you can take for generating value:

  • Conduct a mobile maturity assessment: Conducting a maturity assessment test will help you in assessing your company’s current state of the use of mobile technology. Also, it can help you in planning future activities.
  • Identify existing mobile architectures, frameworks, tools and apps: Many organizations have multiple mobile architectures and frameworks to suit different use cases and business goals. You must understand the optimal tools and frameworks that are required to build an app with a specific architecture. This step is important for performing development activities.

3.    Execute your mobile application development vision

In this step, you have to synthesize all the information garnered in the previous points into the area of focus. You must transform all your knowledge into a blueprint for action. The following are two important measures that you can take for generating value:

  • Draft and refine your mobile app insight: Your immediate area of focus must be on developing a long term, compelling future vision for mobile apps. You can enlist the ongoing support of your team and other stakeholders as you communicate this vision. You must clearly convey what this vision means to the enterprise, IT and your mobile development team.
  • Plan your operational mobile budget: You must have a reasonably accurate picture of your monthly mobile budget. This budget can expand or contract as you develop your program.

Thus by using these steps, you can have an elucidated view of the app development priorities, and successfully begin with mobile app development.
