Project Manager Task – payever

payever is a web-based operating system that currently consists of 10

apps, that are made to make commerce easier for businesses. payever
wants to build a new app, your task is to create a full plan for making
this new app within the payever operating system. The app is called
'Coupons', which will enable the user to generate, maintain and use
the coupon across various channels with the platform.
Reminder: It is a coupon app that will be developed within the
web-based commerceOS platform. The coupons app is not a discount
finder for nearby shops, but for the merchant to provide to customers.

Part 1 - Tasks
1. Perform a market research on competitors to define the base
features and common UX used for a coupons app. Make a draft for
the designer in any tool of your preference, to explain your UI idea
and its functionalities. It's important that your draft contains all details
needed for implementing a working coupons app from a customer
perspective.
2. Create an UML diagram that represents the technical
implementation of the coupons app and its features. In addition
investigate our apps via getpayever.com and draft a context diagram
that shows the relations between coupons and the other apps within
the payever operating system and how they are affected. Please
motivate your diagrams with explanations for your decisions. The
developer should be directly able to implement your solution.

3. Describe the steps of how the coupons app should be built in detail.
Do this by simulating a task description (can be done in JIRA or plain
text), that answers the following information:
A. Why? – What is its goal
 B. Who? – In case: users, merchants,
business
 C. What? – Describe the (technical) functionality & user
journey D. Acceptance criteria? - Minimal functionality to be
accepted
4. Divide the JIRA task (you don’t need to have JIRA itself, you can
do it in a text file) based on the coupons app features into (smaller)
frontend and backend tasks for the developers. Provide the
decomposed tasks with a short description of what should be
implemented.
