1.1 BACKGROUND (INTRODUCTION)
Brand X is one of the (soon-to-be) leading e-commerce companies in Abu Dhabi,
UAE, that is in the business of selling accessories to both men and women. The
company intends to be the one-stop-shop for all accessories such as smartphone
covers, wallets, pens, notebooks, diaries, journals, and more, so customers can
freely browse and purchase them without having to leave the comfort of their
houses. To enable the same, this project talks about the development of an e-
commerce website that allows customers to do just that.

writing the project charter, going outside one’s residence is not a safe endeavour. At

the problem that Brand X attempts to solve is, how can millennials continue to shop
for accessories while staying inside their homes? The answer is, of course, via an e-
commerce website that specifically sells them.
