Realizing “TOUCH” in Mobile

Feel’ the texture of an Apparel in a Retail Store

- Shirt sizes
- Availability
- Colors
- Cost
- Frequency pattern
[Frequency for the vibrator on the mobile
Retail Store phone When customer wants to feel the Subscriber
cloth material]

- Texture of a fabric is assigned with a specific Frequency pattern
- A frequency pattern is distinct for each of the fabric for e.g., Medium – Cotton, Slow – Wool etc
- Customer selects a shirt from the menu displayed
- Along with the shirt related information the vibrating frequency pattern is pushed to the client

Specific challenges in building a mobile application

Imperatives from line of business &
customers
• Strong demand by Line of Business
• Customers expect higher quality of user experience
with mobile apps
• More direct involvement from users/stakeholders in
design
Fragmentation of technology and
platforms
• Highly fragmented set of mobile devices and
platforms
• Native programming models not portable across
devices.
• Very large number of configurations of devices,
platforms, carriers, etc. to test How do you develop for and test
Urgent time-to-market, rapid pace of against multiple platforms
innovation effectively?
• Mobile landscape evolves at a much faster pace How do you align business and
• More frequent releases and updates for apps with development?
more urgent time-to-market demands
• Lack of best practices guidance on how to deliver How do you gain control of your
mobile applications development process and
accelerate time to delivery?

Mobile Software Development is a Team Sport

•Many disciplines are involved – stakeholders, various
developer specialists, testing, documentation, project
managers
• The most effective teams have clear visibility to what
each team member is expected to be working on, and
how each member is progressing with their part of the
shared effort.

•As work progresses, efficient communication is
key – coordinating between team members allows
the most effective execution.
• The tools used in a team’s software
development can facilitate such communication or
they can create barriers between team roles.
• Really effective agile teams use tools that are as
integrated as the team members are.
