- Short-lived mobile applications whose value will quickly degrade as user expectations change and mobile technologies evolve.
- High delivery and operational costs because design decisions were made on what was needed now rather than later.
- Low user adoption because users do not know how to best use the application.
Thoughtfully delivering mobile applications involving end user and enterprise perspectives can:
- Ensure stakeholder expectations are balanced against technology requirements and resource availability.
- Maximize your existing investments in enterprise technologies.
- Structure mobile applications to scale, mature, and extend within your organization’s means.
