Doubling Productivity by Scrumming Leadership by Steve Daukas | Sep 29, 2017 | Blog If you love to cook like I do, or if you have ever watched one of the many cooking shows on TV these days, you'll understand when I say that leading a Scrum transformation of any size requires some prior experience in the kitchen. It is not enough to whip together ingredients according to some recipe that assumes you know how to cook, or that recommends an ingredient that is just not available. In the kitchen, a great outcome requires knowledge, technique, and experience. Knowing how to begin with what is actually on hand, anticipating the possible variations, and making adjustments along the way is critical to reaching the desired result.

(Note, developers often refer to Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS as “Xamarin Native” or “Xamarin Traditional;” we use the term “Xamarin Native” in this post) At the highest level, that decision comes down to weighing development time and cost vs. delivering a fully native experience. Xamarin.Forms is an abstraction layer that allows you to push common user interface code to multiple platforms, where if you build in Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android, the UI development work is all done in the native platforms.
