Mobile App Health Check
The mobile app health check is a structured workshop for teams building mobile apps, designed to:
- Assess the health of your mobile app delivery.
- Highlight areas for improvement.
- Get an actionable plan to address issues.
- Get your team’s creative juices flowing for changes they might like to make.
- Get confidence in what's working.
The workshop works equally well on-site, hybrid or remote. It’s great to get everyone together in a room for an activity like this, but if that’s not possible for your team, you still get full value from this session.
It is designed to be engaging and inclusive. It encourages communication and collaboration in a way that is approachable for even the quietest of your team members.
Who is it for
This workshop is for teams building mobile apps. It works equally well for established teams with apps in the stores, and for earlier-stage teams with apps that almost ready for launch.
If you haven’t started building yet, or are still a long way from release, this isn’t for you yet. Get in touch to find out other ways we can support you with getting your app build off to the best start.
Why run this workshop with your team
This workshop is great to run for any of the following reasons:
- To check the health of your mobile app project.
- As a team ‘jolly’, for example as part of an away-day.
- To encourage communication and collaboration across your team.
- The get the views of everyone, not just the loudest voices in the room.
This session is also a good taster for working with Making Mobile Simple. If you’re thinking of working with us, but would like to get to know us better first, this is a great place to start.
Who should attend the workshop
Everyone on the team is welcome and encouraged to attend, including engineers, product managers, tech leads, delivery leads, project managers, testers, and designers. The workshop is designed to be engaging for the whole team, and it’s great for getting everyone’s views, even the quieter members of your team.
You can include stakeholders if you like, but everyone involved should be close enough to the app project to contribute to the session. No spectators!
The session works best with a minimum of 5 people, but there’s no upper limit on attendees. The more people involved, the wider the insight you’ll get from the session, so the more the merrier!
How does it work
The workshop is facilitated through Miro. It covers eight important areas of mobile app delivery, including customer needs, releases, architecture, and security. For each area we work through a number of health check questions. Everyone independently rates how the team is doing for each question. This very quickly surfaces a visual view of health of the project, in a way that is collaborative and avoids conflict.
