- IT managers don’t know where to start when initiating a mobile program.
- IT has tried mobile development in the past but didn't achieve success.
- IT must initiate a mobile program quickly based on business priorities and needs a roadmap based on best practices.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Form factors and mobile devices won't drive success – business alignment and user experience will. Don't get caught up with the latest features in mobile devices.
- Software emulation testing is not true testing. Get on the device and run your tests.
- Cross form-factor testing cannot be optimized to run in parallel. Therefore, anticipate longer testing cycles for cross form-factor testing.
Impact and Result
- Prepare your development, testing, and deployment teams for mobile development.
- Get a realistic assessment of ROI for the launch of a mobile program.
