Project: Development of a Mobile App for Online Grocery
Shopping
Introduction:
This document outlines the project management plan for the development of a mobile
application for online grocery shopping. This application will allow users to browse and
purchase groceries from local stores, schedule delivery or pick-up, and manage their
grocery shopping experience. The project aims to provide a convenient and efficient
way for users to purchase groceries, while also supporting local businesses.
Project management background:
 Methodology: Agile Scrum methodology will be used to develop the application
iteratively, allowing for flexibility and adaptation to changing requirements.
 Project Management Tools: Asana will be used for task management, communication,
and collaboration. Jira will be used for issue tracking and bug reporting.
 Team Structure:
o Project Manager: Responsible for overall project planning, execution, and budget
management.
o Product Owner: Represents the stakeholders and defines product requirements and
priorities.
o Development Team: Consisting of mobile app developers, backend developers, and
QA testers.
o Design Team: Responsible for the user interface and user experience design.

2. Objectives:
The objective of this project is to develop and launch a mobile application for online
grocery shopping that is:
 User-friendly and intuitive: Easy for users to browse, search, and purchase groceries.
 Integrates with local stores: Provides access to a wide range of products from local
grocery stores.
 Offers convenient delivery and pick-up options: Flexible options to meet users' needs.
 Secure and reliable: Ensures user data and transactions are secure.
