Mobile challenges : Project Ranker app

I am working now on my new course for Pluralsight about building native mobile apps integrated with SAP and you can see on the pictures below the ready prototypes. The app itself shows a list of projects ranked by their cash-flow in different statuses, like Idea, In progress or Completed. 

These are the challenges that might occur during a mobile project:

  • Multiple target platforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone
  • Multiple screen sizes: smartphone or tablet
  • Performance issues: limited resources in network, phone
  • Mobile platform choice: Native, HTML5 or Hybrid ?
  • Data Quality: data is in different systems 
  • Data Access: how to make the information accessible ?
  • Cost: different technologies increase the time and money of a project
