Mobile application development platforms enable developers to use their preferred development approach when building apps for different devices and operating systems, and successful project teams are 31 percent more likely to use them. There’s no waiting for hardware to arrive and no complex set-up procedures. Developers simply select the services they need from the cloud, and they can jump right in.
Learn MoreOn nearly two-thirds of successful projects, the development team collaborates closely with business stakeholders throughout development something that less than half of the less successful projects do. Three quarters also work closely with IT ops. Given that mobile development requires frequent releases, this collaboration is increasingly vital. With the increased user expectations that come with the mobile mind shift, aligning to user needs early and often can help win fans.
Learn MoreSuccessful projects are improved by indirect audience feedback, such as how they interact with the apps. Whether gathering feedback during usability testing or after the app goes live, successful project teams keep a close analytical eye on their audience. Conduct usability testing during development, and use analytics after launch to identify popular features and functions. Continually improve the application by incorporating user feedback and analytical insights.
