The Process of Creating and Managing Requirements for Mobile Application Development

As the number of mobile devices used grows, the number of mobile apps also increases. The aim of this diploma thesis is to compile a practical methodology for creating a specifi-cation for mobile application development in the form of an interactive prototype. The methodology presented in this paper is based on the principles of iterative design and development. The presented methodology differs from other agile methodologies by focus-ing on the stage of product discovery which precedes development itself. I draw on the methodology from various sources representing agile methods of user research, require-ments management and prototyping of user interface. When selecting individual methods, I build on my own experience with running mobile application development projects.In the first part of the thesis, I present the theoretical concepts that are the basis of the used methods. In the next section, I present the specifics of applications for mobile devices. In the third part, I introduce the proposed process of creating a specification for mobile appli-cation development, which is the main contribution of this work. In the following chapters, I describe in detail the different methods and reasons for their selection.
