§  Economic Analysis

§  Project size: small
Scale: storage and processing
§  Familiarity with the application area and technologies: high
·         Developers can be those who are skillful at PHP & MYSQL
·         PHP is a well-known programming language for web application, and so does MYSQL (database management)
o   Degree of structure of the system requirements: highly structured
A well-defined technical problem
*      Blackwell Bookseller
§  Good features we want to adopt:
o   eBooks Help: this feature to help customer can have a clear understanding about how to buy an eBook. It gives a lot of detail information and useful instructions relates to buying an eBook for  customers who are not clear
o   Reserve Online & Collect Instore: the ease of shopping online with the convenience of large network of stores. This creates a simple way to shop and fast to receive the item.
o   Shipping: an important feature to attract customer to the store
§  Bad features I want to avoid:
Corporate account: this feature seems to quite unclear. In addition, this feature maybe not useful and practical
*      The Book People
§  Good features I want to adopt
o   Book Points: “Earn Book Points every time you shop with the Book People and you could soon be trading them in for another one of our brilliant books”. This will increase the number of sales and store will have more regular customers.
o   Book blog:: is where books and people meet, check back for all the latest news and events related to books so people can always update information.
§  Bad features I want to avoid:
Points Passport: In my opinion, this feature should not be included. It is nearly the same as “Book point” feature thus not need to include this feature.
*      Amazon
§  Good features I want to adopt:
o   Wishlist: this list help customer add the items to their favorite list for later purpose if they do not want to buy it immediately.
o   Search: This is one of the most important features I want to adopt. It is to make easier in finding items. Customer can find what they want in an easy way and take not much time
§  Bad features I want to avoid:
o   Sell: this function if not be managed carefully, it can be used for cheating purpose
o   International trading: contain a lot of threats such as problem in shipping items, fake items
