# Fall 18' Coffeehouse Scheduler PRD

The purpose of this document is to communicate the immediate objectives of the Coffeehouse Scheduler for the Fall 18' semester and provide a product roadmap and breakdown of Agile Epics.

### Current Status

The Coffeehouse Scheduler entered alpha testing phase over the summer. Features


### Obstacles
This semester, our product foresees a number of obstacles — chiefly amongst them are the familiarization of the team with the new workflow of RiceApps as well as the new stack. Another obstacle is setting boundaries and expectations with the stakeholder — we need better two-way communication, and an improved vetting process for features. One final problem for this fall semester will be in regards to google calendar integration, as most of the team is inexperienced in this area and so research will be necessary for solving that issue.



## Technical & Functional Scopes
1. Build a web application with modern, developed technologies including GraphQL, ReactJS, and Express/NodeJS
2. Implement a visually-pleasing and easy-to-understand user interface using SASS and Material-UI v1
3. Implement same functionalities of excel document in our web application
4. Use analytics to determine user pain points and most-used features
5. Using third-party integrations to benefit users
6. Using algorithms to efficiently schedule users
7. Add Multiple Calendar functionality

### Deliverables (Already Completed)

## Risk Assessment (High Level)
