Lean Mobile App Development

By: Mike van Drongelen, Aravind Krishnaswamy

Overview of this book

Lean is the ultimate methodology for creating a startup that succeeds. Sounds great from a theoretical point of view, but what does that mean for you as an a technical co-founder or mobile developer? By applying the Lean Start-up methodology to your mobile App development, it will become so much easier to build apps that take Google Play or the App Store by storm. This book shows you how to bring together smarter business processes with technical know-how. It makes no sense to develop a brilliant app for six months or longer only to find out later that nobody is interested in it. Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) first. Validate your hypotheses early and often. Discover effective product development strategies that let you put Facebook's famous axiom "move fast and break things" into practice. A great app without visibility and marketing clout is nothing, so use this book to market your app, making use of effective metrics that help you track and iterate all aspects of project performance.

Multiple iterations of testing and optimizing are required to build an app that solves your customer's problem. Split testing (or A/B testing) is an ongoing process that can help you find the workflow, which will lead to the highest conversions. Using split testing, you can, for example, find the best registration flow for your app. In Chapter 10, There is an API For That!, we have seen some good suggestions of what you can do to improve the onboarding process. Now you can also run some experiments and measure...
