This task will be followed up asynchronously over a few days and should not take more than two hours in total.
Project Introduction
On behalf of Wiredcraft (WCL), you have been assigned as project manager for a project for the client Kuno Corp (your client stakeholder is Leo). The outcome of this project will be a Wechat miniapp which allows a user to sign up and pay for membership to a coupon system. The system as a whole is expected in 9 weeks.
Project Details
The work has been divided into two parts:
• the backend and frontend for wechat miniapp signup (which requires the user to pay a yearly fee of 100 rmb) as well as the frontend for coupon information - This will be handled by Wiredcraft completely
• the backend for coupon information which will be provided by a separate company Jhonny Labs, you will need to interface with Frank, their project manager, to coordinate as they are building this system from scratch for Kuno Corp.
The specific requirements for the registration have been decided as the default Wechat authentication and WCL will need to store Username and location fields, at the last stage of signup the user needs to pay 100 rmb from their Wechat wallet for 1 year of membership. The login for existing users will be Wechat authentication as usual. And after sign up the coupin information system expects to receive the Username and location so they can customise the coupon information in their backend for WCL to access and display in the front-end.
In your team you have:
• Two frontend developeres who can make mockups and flow diagrams and once confirmed, implement the frontend parts.
• A developer who can implement the WCL backend and help out integrating the coupons frontend with the coupons backend
• A dev-ops engineer who can set up the servers and take care of deployment.
Your Task
The first step of this task is for you to provide the following:
• Clarify the requirements and provide your understanding of the final scope for Wiredcraft's work.
• An initial project plan including:
A work breakdown for Wiredcraft's integration with Jhonny Labs up to the final delivery
a rough timeline of what you think needs to happen in this project and deliverables. You can use the methodology of your choice for this plan.
Outline the project phases you would have and what should be delivered at each phase.
The plan can be a few paragraphs of text and the timeline can also be made using Github markdown by outlining what needs to be done during each week.
A rough outline of the process you would use for the day-to-day organisation of the development team and a short overview of how you would manage the communication flows internally and externally.
You can also kick off with any questions to multiple people in one GitHub comment, I will answer likewise and bring up more cases to test your communication skills as we go along:
(Assume you have already been introduced to the client (@leo111) and the coupons service vendor (@flfrank222) ) and you can @myteam333 for questions to your development team)
e.g.
@flfrank222 - Hi there, can I confirm with you the requirements for ...
@leo111 - I heard from FLFrank222 that they need to have xxx, does that mean we need to change ....
@myteam333 - I'm not clear on how xxx could work, can you tell me more about it?
@fuzhuang - For the test, I don't understand what you mean by xxx ...
