Round 63

Mobile Market Entry Strategy

Our core desktop productivity suite is losing market share to mobile-first competitors. We need to define our entry strategy for the mobile ecosystem. Our goal is to retain professional power-users while capturing the 'quick-edit' mobile demographic. Constraints include a fixed 6-month development window before the next fiscal cycle and a design team that specializes in complex, data-heavy interfaces. Tradeoffs involve balancing feature parity against performance, and platform reach against user experience quality.
