A successful app development project requires a melding of a wide variety of skills, ranging from software development, to graphic design, to marketing, to business analysis and strategy. Each skill plays a key role in the successful deployment of the project.

Initially, the creative and business aspects of the project need to be discussed and planned. The initial business requirements will set the course for development, and have a large impact on the eventual success of the project. It's important to do an analysis of competitor apps, to see what they are doing correctly, and what areas need improvement. By addressing those areas that need the most improvement in the development of the app, the product will have a competitive advantage upon release. It's important, however, to also discuss with potential users and listen to their viewpoint as to the primary challenges with their existing application. If the competitive advantages are not actually important to the users, it will not result in eventual sales.

Once the strategy has been developed, the graphic designers can create mockups of key system screens. There are two primary goals at this point: to establish app branding and look / feel, as well as to provide for an effective user interface. If a UX designer is present on the team, they will work with the graphic designer to create an effective layout that will address the key business goals of the software.

Finally, with the strategy and interface developed, the programming team can step in and actually built the app. The tools used will depend on the target deployment environments, possible future capabilities, the required security and reliability, and development time-frame. Once the app has been developed, it will be sent for approval to the target store platforms, whether Google, Apple, or Microsoft.
