1 Choose the right methodology

When developing a mobile app, one of the first decisions you need to make is which methodology to follow. Agile methods, such as Scrum or Kanban, focus on collaboration, feedback, and adaptation to deliver working software in short cycles. Waterfall methods, such as V-Model or RUP, provide a clear structure and scope but can be rigid and slow. Hybrid methods, such as SAFe or Scrumfall, attempt to balance flexibility and stability. The best methodology for your project depends on various factors, such as the size and complexity of the app, the expectations of the stakeholders, and the resources and skills of the team. You should choose the methodology that best suits your needs and be prepared to adjust as the project progresses.

This is one of the easier decisions. Choose agile if you want to unlock more speed. Choose waterfall if you need to enforce checkpoints for quality. But the methodology doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to achieve either. I’ve worked with dysfunctional teams in both agile and waterfall and I can tell you that if you have issues with trust, communication, and motivation, the end result will be the same — slow and sloppy.

2 Use the right tools and frameworks

When developing a mobile app, the choice of tools and frameworks can significantly impact the speed and quality of the project. There are three main categories: native, cross-platform, and hybrid. Native tools and frameworks allow for the best performance, functionality, and user experience but can be costly and difficult to maintain. Cross-platform tools and frameworks can save time, money, and effort but may compromise on performance, functionality, and user experience. Hybrid tools and frameworks offer a combination of web and native elements, but compatibility, security, and quality may be an issue. Ultimately, the best tools and frameworks depend on your goals, requirements, and preferences. It is important to consider your skills, budget, and expectations when making a choice as well as understanding the strengths and limitations of each option.

Not exactly. Hybrid tools can be a great way to get to market quickly and validate the product market fit especially if you don’t have any native engineering in house or you need to target multiple platforms ie Android, iOS, and web. Over time and with more feature complexity, though, development speed and quality are about the same as native but native provides more optionality and better performance. Ideally you should try to leverage both for their advantages. For very simple tools, quick MVPs, or ports from web, use hybrid. For complex, mission critical, or long term projects, use native.

3 Follow the best practices and principles

Regardless of the methodology, tools, and frameworks you use, following the best practices and principles of software design and development is essential for creating high-quality mobile apps. This includes focusing on the user, designing with a modular structure, ensuring security, making the app testable, and making it refactorable. By doing so, you can balance speed and quality in mobile app development to create apps that are efficient, effective, and satisfying. User research, testing, and feedback should be conducted to ensure that the app is useful, usable, and desirable. Separating your app into independent and reusable components can help reduce complexity and improve readability. Security measures such as encryption, authentication, authorization, and validation should be implemented to protect your app from unauthorized access. Testing techniques such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing should be applied to verify and validate the quality of your app. Refactoring techniques such as renaming, extracting or simplifying should be used to improve your app's quality and functionality.

All of the above is pretty obvious but none of if guarantees speed or quality. The biggest single driver of a team’s ability to drive both is the quality and health of the team itself. Is there enough trust for people to feel comfortable bringing up concerns or taking risks? Do team members feel ownership over the result? Does the team get good, timely feedback from stakeholders or customers so that they can quickly fix issues and course correct? A healthy team will quickly find ways around obstacles that no amount of process or tools can solve. A healthy team is feels like they are doing their best work, learn from and teach their peers, and are motivated to do quality work at a fast pace.
