Agile for Mobile App Development - Webinar
March 10, 2010
Smartphones are quickly becoming the compute platform of choice. With all the rich capabilities available in mobile platforms like iPhone and Android, new and innovative software applications are being developed every day. In addition, various existing enterprise applications are making available mobile client interfaces.
While common principles of Agile development are fully applicable to mobile application development, there are some additional techniques which are particularly more powerful for teams doing mobile application development.
In this Webinar, we will discuss three Agile techniques specific to developing mobile application software:
- Hyper-Prototyping has similar goals as rapid prototyping, but is characterized with much faster development cycles, shorter feedback loops, and heavy collaboration. Hyper-Prototyping can result in numerous development cycles every day. In effect, it is rapid prototyping on steroids.
- Community Code Scrounging is the discovery and use of source code snippets and examples available on the internet from the software community at large. In effect, it becomes a new agile development paradigm but not without a few warnings!
- User Design Studio is a new agile technique which addresses the challenge of quickly designing a product user interface (UI) under the constraints of compressed schedules and short iterations. Imagine collaboratively developing the best UI design possible in a single day!
