II. Project Scope

The project scope includes the development and launch of a mobile application for the retail company. This involves creating both Android and iOS versions of the app, integrating with existing backend systems for product catalog and user authentication, and implementing key features such as product search, shopping cart functionality, user profiles, and push notifications.

A. Deliverables

Fully functional Android and iOS apps: Develop bug-free, responsive mobile apps with seamless user experiences on both platforms.
Backend integration for live product updates. Link the application to various databases to ensure that the product information provided is both accurate and consistently updated.
User authentication and profile management: Implement secure login/signup processes and enable users to manage profiles and preferences.
Secure your shopping cart and checkout. This allows users to add items, review selections, and complete purchases securely within the app.

B. Exclusions

Physical hardware development: Exclude developing hardware such as Point-of-Sale (POS) systems or beacon technology as part of this project.
Deep integration with third-party payment gateways: Limit payment gateway integration to basic checkout functionality without extensive customizations.
Extensive backend system modifications: Avoid major backend system changes not directly related to app integration to stay within project boundaries.
Marketing campaigns and user acquisition strategies: Exclude planning or executing marketing campaigns beyond integrating app features.

III. Requirements Collection

A. Interviews with Stakeholders

Conduct one-on-one or group interviews with key stakeholders such as the project sponsor, project manager, development team members, marketing team representatives, and retail store managers. Use structured interview guides to gather insights into their expectations, priorities, and requirements for the mobile application.

B. Surveys and Questionnaires

Distribute surveys or questionnaires to a broader audience, including potential app users (customers). Use targeted questions to gather feedback on desired features, user experience preferences, pain points in current shopping experiences, and suggestions for improvement. Analyze survey responses to identify common themes and priorities.

C. Document Analysis

Analyze existing documents including project briefs, business requirements, market research, and industry standards to extract app functionality, user interface design, data security, and regulatory compliance requirements. Complement these findings with insights from interviews and surveys through document analysis for thorough requirement coverage.

IV. Requirement Analysis
