<h2>Introduction</h2>
<h3>The Importance of Mobile Apps and CI/CD in Enterprises</h3>
<p>Nowadays, we no longer talk about why enterprises need mobile apps or even why they need mobile CI/CD. The mobile apps and their CI/CD pipelines, along with effective team management, have already become indispensable for many enterprises.</p>
<p>As the number of mobile applications increases while their development becomes more complex, organizations are turning to mobile CI/CD platforms such as Appcircle to streamline and optimize their DevOps processes.</p>
<h2>The Diverse World of Mobile App Projects and Teams</h2>
<h3>Variety in Mobile App Projects</h3>
<p>Regardless of the company size, many companies have multiple mobile app projects. In large enterprises, the number of mobile apps may easily be in double or even triple digits.</p>
<p>In such a diverse pool of apps, some may be customer-facing or employee-facing, and some may be developed with in-house resources or outsourced resources or a mix of both.</p>
<h3>Differences in Team Structures and Resources</h3>
<p>For some apps, security is more important, while for some others, quick delivery of new versions is more important. Then there is the difference of the development technology, whether it uses a native platform or cross-platform solution.</p>
<p>With so many things to consider, the mobile development teams are all over the place. (Metaphorically as well as literally, since the development teams of many enterprises are dispersed geographically.)</p>
<p>Certain resources may be shared across the teams while certain resources may need to be fully isolated from other projects for many reasons such as security, confidentiality, competition, diversification, localization, etc.</p>
<h2>Why Do You Need Multi-Layered Team Management in Mobile CI/CD?</h2>
<h3>Challenges of Managing Multiple Teams and Projects</h3>
<p>Managing multiple teams working on multiple projects on a unified mobile CI/CD platform can be challenging. Unification and standardization around a single CI/CD solution is essential. However, if a mobile CI/CD solution doesn&#8217;t allow multiple layers of teams within the organization or assigning distinct roles and permissions to different team members, it can limit your flexibility and control over mobile projects.</p>
<h3>Benefits of Multi-Layered Team Management</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Risk Management</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Multi-layered enterprise team management enables organizations to better manage risk. With CI/CD pipelines, there are often many moving parts, and it can be challenging to ensure that any change does not affect some projects negatively. By breaking down teams into smaller sub-organizations, it is easier to isolate project risks and address them before they become an issue in other sub-organizations.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Flexibility</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Multi-layered enterprise team management allows for greater flexibility. As organizations grow and evolve, they may need to restructure their teams or change the way they work. By having a multi-layered system in place, it is much easier to make these changes without disrupting the entire organization. Each project group and team can work independently.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Governance</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Multi-layered enterprise team management, including organizations and sub-organizations, helps ensure governance. This is particularly crucial in mobile CI/CD products, where security, compliance, and segregation of duties are paramount. Governance is essential in any organization, and it becomes even more critical in mobile CI/CD products, where security and compliance are paramount with a strict focus on segregation of duties.</p>
<p>With multi-layered enterprise team management, teams can be isolated, and team members have separate roles and responsibilities for each sub-organization.</p>
<p>This is why you need a mobile CI/CD solution that supports multi-layered enterprise team management with organizations and sub-organizations that reflect your business needs.</p>

<h2>What is the Best Solution for Mobile DevOps Teams?</h2>
<p>Appcircle is the perfect fit for the enterprises that seek an enterprise-grade solution for team management for mobile CI/CD.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Organization Management Features</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The organization management feature of Appcircle allows you to create hierarchical structures of teams within your enterprise organization, and to define granular access levels for each team member specifically for a sub-organization.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creating Sub-Organizations</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>For example, you can create sub-organizations to group teams by mobile app projects (separate for each), by the target audience (customer-facing or employee-facing), by internal/external resources (in-house or outsourced), by geography (if there are multiple locations around the world), by customers (if it is app development consultancy), or any other criteria that make sense for your context.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Centralized Licensing and Resource Allocation</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>You can have numerous sub-organizations while maintaining a central license on the parent organization. This ensures international subsidiaries aren&#8217;t bothered by licensing and invoicing or running out of limits, as you manage license limits more efficiently from a global pool. Any spare platform resource in one team can be used in another team.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sharing Team Members Across Projects</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, creating a hierarchy of teams is not sufficient by itself. You may also need to share team members across projects (e.g., a DevOps specialist or the testers). In this case, you will not need separate users for each team.</p>
<p>A single user can be a member of multiple sub-organizations, each with separate access levels as needed. Switching between organizations is quick and easy with the one-click organization switcher.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fine-Grained Access Management</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>On top of all, fine-grained access management for each module ensures that a user only has access to what is needed and nothing more or less. You can have full segregation of duties for mobile CI/CD governance.</p>
