#LeanCoffeeTO - Episode 70 - Lean Methodologies for Mobile.

This meetup will focus on strategies and tools for being effectively lean on mobile where a series of major challenges are faced:

1. Major restrictions on deployment natures and times

-> Lack of A/B Testing on iOS.

-> Forced onto longer deployment cycles.

2. Worse tools, particularly for unit testing.

-> Unit tests are slower, less reliable, and/or far more complicated to write.

This meetup will focus on strategies and tools for being effectively lean on mobile where a series of major challenges are faced:

1. Major restrictions on deployment natures and times

-> Lack of A/B Testing on iOS.

-> Forced onto longer deployment cycles.

2. Worse tools, particularly for unit testing.

-> Unit tests are slower, less reliable, and/or far more complicated to write.

-> This makes it harder to maintain high quality code, harder to iterate quickly, and harder to put new features into a product without breaking things.

3. Restricted screen space

-> This plays a factor because smaller changes can lead to radically new UI. Many features are more likely to be new views than new buttons, and the addition of a fair number of these views/activities can change the core interface for activity selection as well.

4. Fewer splice ins from reliable third party tools

-> Many third party tools (analytics packages has been my particular bane) are more readily available at a higher quality on the web than on mobile. Splicing in high quality third party code that has been vetted and tested helps a lot for efficiency and release deadlines.

I'll be posting links to past discussions and articles later. Details are up early and members are encouraged to post comments, help shape the meetup to solve the problems you face.
