How to Plan mobile app development ??
Invest time in defining the scope of the application, decide on the app architecture, research usability, and work on creating great UX and UI.
Do not overload your app with features.
Select a product owner to take ownership of the application.
Introduce your employees to the world of digital transformation and ensure that they understand why it is important for the company.
Only focus on transforming one process at the time.
During development
Test your solution with a quality assurance team and real users.
Start marketing, do not wait until after development has been completed.
Make sure your application can handle the required amount of new users.
Focus on getting the initial features right before adding new features. It is always betterto have a few things done well than a lot of poorly implemented features.
Listen to your audience.
Conduct A/B tests for feature releases.
