Abstract

Mobile app markets have experienced remarkable growth during the last year. The increasing number of apps available on the market and the revenue that developers and companies obtain is significant enough to seriously consider the way apps are developed. The ever-changing environment in which apps are developed makes agile methodology convenient to follow. Although agile methodologies allow the development team to quickly adjust the requisites to the new customer’s needs, there is a lack of research on how they can be explicitly adapted to develop mobile apps. There are many Websites that explain how to code a mobile app, but there is not enough information about other stages in the development process. Adapting an agile methodology for mobile apps would provide development teams with a clear guide to successfully develop an app without missing any step in the development process. This chapter proposes an agile mobile app development process, including processes and activities to be followed as well as the roles involved in these activities. Marketing issues are also considered in the proposed development process as they are necessary to publicize the mobile app. This process has been applied for over two years in the development of the institutional apps at Carlos III University of Madrid.
