A Mobile DevOps Project Management Framework

Abstract

Mobile applications have become critical infrastructure in finance, healthcare, and public services, yet their development and operations pipelines remain complex and disconnected. Although DevOps practices have matured in web and cloud systems, mobile environments continue to face fragmented monitoring, weak governance visibility, and inconsistent security assurance. This study addresses the problem of limited managerial control and transparency in mobile DevOps projects, where automation lacks connection to governance and decision making. The objective was to develop a unified model that integrates automation, monitoring, and governance to strengthen project oversight. Drawing from a Multivocal Literature Review of academic and practitioner studies and examined through a demonstration linking an iOS application with Sentry and Azure DevOps, the research produced the Mobile DevOps Project Management Framework. The demonstration illustrates how real time logging, alerting, and dashboards can provide continuous visibility for project managers. It illustrates how organisations can strengthen reliability, assurance, and transparency by embedding governance within continuous delivery cycles.
