[cite_start]A comprehensive, industry-standard Project Management specification package utilizing Agile-driven frameworks to govern the architectural restructuring, functional feature increments, and market rebranding of the popular Jahez Delivery Platform into SmartOrder[cite: 2830, 2845, 2887].
- [cite_start]Project Budget Baseline: 1,000,000 SAR Allocation[cite: 2878].
- [cite_start]Project Lifecycle Model: Incremental Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)[cite: 2845].
- [cite_start]Timeline Constraint Parameters: March 1, 2026 – December 1, 2026[cite: 2866, 2868].
- [cite_start]Core Product Deliverables: Verified Student Discounts, AI Recommendation Engines, Collaborative Shareable Group Baskets with Automated Bill-Splitting[cite: 2831, 2991, 2993, 2994].
[cite_start]The product delivery lifecycle is executed via 4 sequential, independent software increments to ensure iterative deployment stability and quality validation[cite: 2845]:
- [cite_start]Increment 1 (Student Discount System): Integrating academic verification filters and institutional rulesets[cite: 2846, 2847, 2848].
- [cite_start]Increment 2 (Budget Tracking Controls): Developing custom pricing query constraints to isolate in-budget menu arrays[cite: 2849, 2850, 2851].
- [cite_start]Increment 3 (Similar Item Suggestions Engine): Deploying intelligent cross-restaurant food item recommendations[cite: 2852, 2853].
- [cite_start]Increment 4 (Smart Collaborative Group Ordering): Integrating individual checkout balances and dynamic link sharing[cite: 2854, 2855, 2856].
[cite_start]The governance strategy maps operational delivery items across 7 Primary Lifecycle Phases[cite: 3516]:
- [cite_start]
1.1 Project Initiation(Project Charter, Stakeholder Registry, Strategy Alignment)[cite: 3026, 3027, 3028, 3029]. - [cite_start]
1.2 Gathering Requirements(Interviews, Surveys, Questionnaires, Focus Groups)[cite: 2931, 2939, 2943, 3030, 3031]. - [cite_start]
1.3 System Design(UI/UX Mockups via Figma, RESTful Backend Architecture Mapping)[cite: 2949, 3034, 3035, 3036, 3095]. - [cite_start]
1.4 System Development(Incremental Feature Deployment Pipelines)[cite: 3038]. - [cite_start]
1.5 System Testing(Integration Testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Processes)[cite: 3043, 3044, 3045]. - [cite_start]
1.6 System Deployment(App Store Submission Engines, Server Auto-Scaling Launches)[cite: 2957, 3048, 3049]. - [cite_start]
1.7 Documentation & Closure(Project Handover, Post-Launch Feedback Analysis)[cite: 3052, 3053, 3054].
[cite_start]Functional alignment across internal software teams was structured via a standard RACI mapping layout[cite: 2896, 3098, 3099]:
- [cite_start]Accountability (A): Centrally allocated to the Project Manager to track cross-phase execution integrity[cite: 3105, 3106].
- [cite_start]Responsibility (R): Distributed dynamically among App Developers, UI/UX Teams, Backend Engineers, and Systems Programmers based on core competency metrics[cite: 3108, 3110, 3113, 3116].
[cite_start]Enterprise risk scenarios were qualitatively analyzed across standard metrics to balance technical constraints[cite: 2803, 3294]:
| Risk Identifier | Event Description | Category Type | Potential Strategic Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 (Negative) | [cite_start]Integration delays across external student verification APIs[cite: 3294]. | Technical | [cite_start]Mitigation: Accelerate backend analysis phases to introduce extra troubleshooting bandwidth[cite: 3294]. |
| R3 (Positive) | [cite_start]High proficiency with wireframing speeds up UI/UX mockups[cite: 3298]. | Schedule | [cite_start]Exploitation: Leverage component kits to accelerate baseline approvals early[cite: 3298]. |
| R6 (Negative) | [cite_start]AI suggestions drift outside budget parameters[cite: 3302]. | Technical | [cite_start]Mitigation: Implement systemic fallback scripts defaulting to high-rating variants[cite: 3302]. |
Developed as a core framework for the IT Project Management (IS350) course at Princess Noura bint Abdulrahman University.
