Start-ups and product reboots are all thinking the same thing - how quickly can we get to market? The app market is break-kneck, and being first-to-market, or soon-to-market can be important, but, not at the expense of quality. In this talk we&rsquo;ll explore the motivations for being first, and argue the values of being &quot;better&quot;

From experience, we&rsquo;ll focus on how to convince clients and stakeholders to buy-in to quality over &quot;fast&quot; - as a philosophy, as a differentiator, and as a process to making it happen.

Anyone can make an app - just look at any of the app stores, but only the ones that focus on the customer, on quality, and on the entire experience as a whole will succeed.

This talk will give you a roadmap to create better products, get and keep clients on-board with your direction, and deliver outstanding products to the market.
