Create a Website for a Client

Your team has been asked to design a new website for Pets Unlimited, a small regional chain that specializes in cruelty-free pet-breeding practices, rescue pet adoption, and selling eco-friendly pet products. Their primary mission is to support sustainability and work toward the elimination of animal cruelty in the pet-breeding industry. Pets Unlimited, which has been selling their eco-friendly pet products out of their retail locations in Arizona and Southern California, has made the decision to open a large online retailing center to promote its cause and make eco-friendly pet products and breeding services more widely available. It hopes that by doing so it can bring greater awareness to its mission and the causes it supports. The budget for the project is $8,000 and you have 5 weeks to complete the project. Below is a list of features and capabilities Pets Unlimited would like for its website:

• Multiple content sections including information and sales on mission and vision, breeding, adoption, sustainability, pet products, and public service programs that support their cause.
• Product searching features with multiple filters (breeds, price, product, etc.)
• Browsing history and sales data collection and analysis for additional product recommendations during browsing
• Shopping cart with all necessary features for online purchases connected to up to the minute inventory control
• Mobile site
• Connections to social media to support social media campaign
• Newsletter/blogging area
• Secure, password-protected message board area where clients can post adoption notices and communicate with one another
• State of the art security features

Product Backlog: Complete the first version of your product backlog using the attached Product Backlog template. The product backlog is the comprehensive and prioritized list of all of the features for your product. The backlog is a living document in that features may be added, deleted, or reprioritized as the product owner demands new features or as there are shifts in priorities as the project develops. The backlog is also used to plan your teams sprints. Try to make your backlog as comprehensive as possible at this point; however, be prepared to revise and add to it as you work through your project and learn more about what it requires.
