Making the decision to go mobile is one thing—making it happen is something else. Mobile-learning projects are complex, and change often. For an organization accustomed to a linear project timeline for eLearning development this can be a challenge. It’s important that mobile-learning projects are managed in a way that allows for flexibility and organizational success.
In this session you will explore the benefits of using agile project-management methods to manage mobile-learning projects. You will learn how to plan a mobile project, including how to get the support of all stakeholders. You will discuss real-world examples of agile being used to manage mobile projects. You will leave this session with an understanding of what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to managing mobile projects.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to plan out the mobile project
- How to engage stakeholders in all areas
- Best practices to use when managing these types of projects
