Streamlined checkout process with fewer steps.

Page load time optimization through server and code optimizations.

Integration of a recommendation engine to suggest related products.

Excluded:

Redesigning the entire user interface.

Adding new product categories or expanding the product catalog significantly.

 

Stakeholders:

Project Manager: Responsible for overseeing project execution.

Web Developers: The development team responsible for implementing changes.

User Experience (UX) Designer: Ensures a user-friendly design.

Constraints:

Time Constraint: The project must be completed within six months to align with the marketing campaign launch.

Budget Constraint: The project budget is capped at $200,000.

Scalability: The system should accommodate growth in users and product listings.

Usability: The user interface should be intuitive and accessible.

 

 

Cost-Benefit Analysis:

Costs: Development and testing costs ($150,000), recommendation engine licensing fees ($30,000), additional server costs ($10,000), project management fees ($10,000).

Savings: Increased sales revenue ($300,000 estimated in the first year), reduced bounce rates, and improved customer retention due to better user experience.

ROI: Expected return on investment of approximately $200,000 in the first year.
