CIS3011 Project: Design a Mobile Application
Choose your type of App
The first thing your project team needs to do is decide which type of Mobile Application you wish to design. Please read this entire document carefully before making your decision. All Mobile Applications, regardless of which type they are, will be required to provide the same types of information for the Project Report. Different sections of the required information will be easier or harder to provide depending on which type of Mobile Application you choose.
For the purposes of your CIS3011 project, your Mobile Application can be one of the following types.
1. Commercial App: Your original, whiz-bang, you beaut App for which customers are willing to pay a realistic price. Paying can be an upfront purchase or a subscription but the revenue generated must justify your estimated development costs and ongoing maintenance. In other words, this isn’t an App like the gang on Big Bang Theory developed which had a potential market of about 30 users! We’re talking commercial, aka real commerce; you’ll need to be able to identify a realistic market segment for your Mobile Application.
2. Business App: Select an existing business or create a fictional one and design a Mobile Application for them which you feel will help them better serve their customer’s needs, sell more products, etc. This App will be freely available so the estimated costs for development and ongoing maintenance will need to be justified by increased sales and/or savings from business process improvements, etc.
