How to Create Teams in Mobile DevSecOps Build System to Accelerate Delivery

Last updated May 6, 2024 by Appdome

This Knowledge Base article provides an overview of Appdome for Teams and explains how to leverage Appdome’s built-in templates, workflows, approval chains, and entitlement controls to achieve better mobile outcomes through cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration.

We hope you find this knowledge base article useful and enjoy using Appdome!

How to Use Team Workflows in Mobile App Security Projects

Appdome for Teams enables you to collaborate with your teammates in order to integrate with Appdome. You can use all of Appdome’s features in a team, so each team member can do their role in building the app while viewing all the other team member’s progress.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there are no Appdome SDKs, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds features and relevant standards, frameworks, and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

Appdome for Teams is Ideal for CI/CD Development Environments

Development organizations invest heavily in creating unique CI/CD development cycles that meet their organizational needs. Project managers and DevOps team lead assign specific responsibilities during the development cycle to specific experts. This manner of working ensures that the right people are doing the right job to accelerate the development cycle and is a fundamental part of any CI/CD process. Adding a dependency on external integration processes will have a significant impact on well-oiled CI/CD processes.

Appdome for Teams is ideal for ensuring that the right experts are doing what they need to focus on in a collaborative mobile integration project.
