ALBMAD: A Mobile App Development Approach
Keywords:
Agile, Kanban, Mobile app development, Scrum, XPAbstract
Mobile apps are gaining popularity at an accelerated pace, which has led to a rise in demand for support concerning to Mobile App Development (MAD). The necessity for streamlined and effective MAD approaches has arisen in response to the sector's meteoric growth in the past few years. By combining the best attributes across various approaches, and tools/ techniques operated in MAD industries, an approach is required to improve adaptability, productivity, performance, and customer desires. The intention of the presented research is to gain modern insights towards MAD and propose an innovative approach that we referred to as Agile-Lean Based Mobile App Development approach (ALBMAD) for MAD. ALBMAD draws upon and improves upon the aspects of the scrum, kanban, extreme programming (XP), and lean methodologies. Furthermore, ALBMAD utilizes an iterative process at requirement gathering stage that refines the customer’s ideas till it appears excellent. Teams working on MAD might benefit greatly with the advised approach, which has the potential to increase the apps' effectiveness, speed, and success as a whole.
