Mobile as a game changer is finally being understood in the Enterprise

Everyone wants mobile, but most many companies aren’t sure what to do with it.

Point of View – The Law of Three

However, thisis not easy

Disparate data, complex processes

Lack of UX knowledge

Lack of a culture of innovation

Mobile doesn’t fit traditional IT projects

Disruptive Change

Roadmap

Step I: Direction Setting

Step II: Ideation, Readiness, Visualization

Step III: Recommendations & Next Steps

Overall Timeline

Week 1: App Roadmap

!•  Define scenarios, identify apps,

create portfolio, prioritize portfolio based on business drivers, identify candidate app for prototyping in week 2

Week 2: App Rapid Prototype

!•  Visualization and storyboarding of

scenario •  “Prototype” the app (tablet or

phone) •  Provide $, time, and resource

proposal for full app

Set the Direction

22

•  Direction Setting •  Refine the vision •  Qualitative and quantitative business drivers

•  (e.g. Growth, profitability, brand enhancement, customer experience, employee experience, etc.)

•  Innovation influence •  (e.g. Customers, employees, distributors, suppliers, leadership, partners, resellers etc.)

•  Opportunity Identification •  Identify Innovation “Hot Spot”

•  Business Value •  Innovation •  Mobile Suitability •  Competitive Advantage •  Readiness

Ideation and Concept Generation

23

•  Identification of scenarios •  Ideation Framework

•  Primary business value driver and actor for each scenario

•  App Identification

Ideation Framework

Convergence and App Portfolio

24

•  Prioritize key scenarios •  Level of Innovation •  Business Benefit •  Organizational and Technical Readiness •  Ease of Implementation

•  Characterize the technical viability based on constraints, effort, and cost

•  Assign rankings to the scenarios and identify the candidate scenario for prototyping

Convergence

Visualization and Prototype

26

Understand the App idea •  Review the business problem, opportunity, and target audience •  Verify the app scenario (Derived from pre-planning activities) •  Plan the “day-in-a-life” use case

Visualize the concept •  Define the business interaction flow •  Create mockups – hand drawn and visual layout

Build the Mobile App with integration •  Design and Build the screens, integrate with the data •  Demonstrate the “working prototype” and the compelling story

Deploy the App and create the plan •  Deploy the working App using Apperian •  Create a plan for extending the prototype to the full app •  Provide Recommendations, cost, resources and timelines

Use Visualization as a Weapon

27

To invoke change Begin respecting users’ time & tasks Force scope decisions Question what is commonplace To fail cheaply

Example

28

Business team began to look for simple tasks to remove Significant time using systems to perform cross-lookups on PCs App built in 2 weeks gives back ~3 hours / week of time per user Success is driving future scope, not perception of value

Key Visualization Considerations

29

•  Avoid over engineering the app •  Simplify the complexity of the process •  UX is critical •  Day in the life is Critical

Example

30

•  15 minute paper process •  Poor utilization, not great data •  Version 1 was to “App the current

process” •  Less utilization than paper •  Enhancements:

•  GPS, login information

•  Image capture •  Differences only

•  85%+ utilization •  Data spurring Store Ops engagements

Day in the Life

31

Example

32

•  Driver based applicationfor deliveries

•  Complicated directions &needs for new andtemporary employees

•  270,000 overtime hours per year billed for tempemployees

•  Customer satisfaction, fuel/maintenance, supportemployees all affected by overtime

•  Removal of “tribal” knowledge and paper processes

Visualization and Prototype: Details

33

Visualize the concept Solidify the “Experience” Tangible asset Gather feedback

Exercise the App Creation

App Concept !

Wireframe !

Visual Design !

Interaction Flow

34

Wireframe Models

35

Example

36

21 step process – every time All required - had to ensure all customer’s requests were handled Difficult decision to not serve every customer Reduced to 4 steps

Technical Considerations & Architecture

37

•  Application Architecture options and decisions to support known functionality

•  Security & Authentication Design •  Current infrastructure requirements and challenges •  Current and future state data sources, and methods •  Data Design (services design, data transformation, caching) •  Discuss platform choices: (iOS, Android, HTML5), mobile app

development platforms, MADPs •  App Deployment & Support (App Delivery – Apperian, AppStore

monitoring, in-app log and analytics monitoring, support desk requirements, etc.)

38

Testing Process Change: Now Inline with Development

Testing Deployment with Apperian
