PM Exercise

Problem Statement
• An online shopping organization (A) wants to update its’ technology
framework. Currently the website is built with PHP and mysql
database. They got many reviews regarding the slower response time
of the current website. So, they want to implement the frontend and
backend with react.js and node.js respectively. Additionally, they want
to migrate to oracle database from mysql database. You are supposed
to implement the website for that organization. You have react.js
developers but they have very minimal knowledge on node.js.
Vision and scope document
• Project background
• The current shopping website is slower because it is built with some old technology
stack. The number of customers has declined due to this in the last year. Thus, the
organization intends to built a new website with react.js and node.js which will
enhance the response time of the website. Additionally, the organization wants to
migrate to oracle database from mysql database.
• Stakeholder
• The organization
• CTO
• Head of the database team
• Head of the development team
• Head of the testing team
Vision and scope document
• Users
• Home website users
• Merchants
• Risks
• Learning node.js might delay the project.
• As the developer supposed to learn node.js and implement, thus there is a
