Can my organization benefit from mobile technology?
How do I identify my weak points, where does technology fit in?
How can I facilitate the app development process?
What do I need to prepare for to work with a development team?
App DevelopmentDevelopment cycle
Analysis: Figure out what features and functionality is required in the software. Design: Describe features in more detail, a functional design document. Implementation: Build the software. Testing: Test the software for each individual component, integration of components and user acceptance. Evolution: Make updates or changes as needed

App DevelopmentHow to prepare
www.deverse.org
Focus on what your pain point is, not how technology can solve it
Thinking of a solution in mind distracts and obscures the problem really at hand. Losing sight of the problem leads to an app that doesn’t benefit users, leading to an app that doesn’t get used.

The “Front end” is what the user sees and interacts with,
The “Back end” is where data goes/comes from and how it’s processed
