Organizations often worry about their mobile teams. Sometimes they are a bit separate. There’s often this inexplicable hostility to mentions of “React Native.” Why do bug fixes take so long to get to production, and what are all these certificates for, anyway?

She helps you achieve a better understanding of the realities your mobile teams may be struggling with, and shares some strategies for how to help them – and your organization – build an effective mobile team that ships regularly. And yes, you’ll finally understand the React Native argument, too.
