M-applications development using high performance project management techniques

This paper analyses the specifics of m-applications development projects. Even though m-application development projects have their particular features and need customized approaches, still we find that legacy and proven best practices project management techniques can be successfully employed. We present two proven software project management techniques that were successfully adapted to the development of m-applications. One is the estimation of m-application project duration using top-down and bottom-up approaches. The other is the use of a set of performance metrics for project quality assessment.
