Required functionality

Commonly used words explained

place === store, business, restaurant etc.

Initial simplified version

Client lists a batch of towns or cities along their travel route where they might be willing to stop, and gets back a list of all of the things there.

Features to add

• Client can specify the kinds of places of interest to restrict the lists
• Client can give a route with a maximum distance from the highway they'd be willing to travel.
• Client on a smartphone/tablet-like device can use the touch screen to set the search range relative to the route and explore the choices.
• Client wouldn’t mind using it to plan errands on the way home from work.

Process

• Agile, iterative
• Have your client actually drive the code and give you feedback
• If you get a question during your process, you can and should ask your client for feedback.

Timeline

• Sprint 1: May 12 - 16
  • Initial set of user stories and wireframes based on the minimal system described
• Sprint 2: May 17 - 23
  • At least the working minimal system
  • Whatever additional (client approved) users stories you may have
  • Come up with additional user stories at that point and have them prioritized
• Sprint 3: May 24 - 30
  • Present project on May 30
