Many small and large organizations are trying to place their feet in the booming market of Enterprise / Consumer Mobility or mobile applications. While the complexity of creating a small application is pretty simple compared to solving big ticket IT problems, but the dynamics of this world of Mobility poses the challenges of fast scaling, right sustenance model, various engagement models etc.
In the following article, I am trying to present a depiction of the challenges and a model growth strategy which the organizations might adopt to achieve a strategic goal of ramp up a 100 member team in a span of 1year.
