Translation into Mobile

I touched on the idea of translating existing applications, use-cases, and functionality a bit in the previous section, but it is a topic that’s worth exploring a bit deeper because it is a common situation for many organizations.

If you are thinking about translating an application into the mobile space there are a few basic steps you should take to get started.

Identify your feature superset: The application you may be translating may be functionally robust in its current state. Identify and list all the possible features.

Group and cluster: Review your feature list and group or cluster like or related features together. You can also do this with a particular use-case or workflow in mind; just label and organize as needed.

Review and analyze: Take a look at how your feature groupings are starting to resolve and look at if they are applicable to the mobile context at a high level, and if they may speak to specific use-case at a more detailed level.

Filter: Remove or isolate features that are not relevant, based on the what you have identified as the primary use-cases from your user experience strategy and by what is appropriate or possible for the platform.

Identify areas of critical mass: It may make sense to translate an application as a unified experience into a mobile app, but you should be looking at your grouped features to determine whether or not they can stand alone as applications unto themselves, and if it makes sense to fragment your application into multi-sub applications.
