Tiivistelmä
At the time of its highest growth thus far, the assigner, Now Finance, considered the development of a Mobile Application to be used by their customers for managing their Personal Loans. Their existing Web Portal Application had been suffering from low user adaptation and its complete re-development was being deprioritized over other, more strategic projects. It was decided that the author would be employed to develop a modern mobile application from the ground up. The author took the time to explore the tools to be used for the task at hand and proceeded with designing and developing the application. In this process, the focus was a fast turnaround, customer satisfaction, efficiency, and scalability.
The diary method was chosen as the most appropriate. This method is based on the strong research diary tradition and follows the autoethnographic model where the writer applies her/his own experience to better understand the field of phenomena. Due to the nature of the topic, the diary method will play an important role in promoting necessary filed research.
The research will be useful for software developers and managers interested in Mobile Application Development and shows some insights into the technical and business aspects of the field. The results prove that a mixture of appropriate tools, detailed requirements and design analysis, and careful implementation can lead to positive outcomes. The road of software development is not always clear and predictable. Sometimes there are big challenges or roadblocks to overcome so it requires resilience. In the mobile world, the barrier of acceptable features has been set higher than ever before and that should be taken into consideration early in the process.
