Functional Requirements (Scope) and Scope Control
The business’s functional business requirements or scope provides an overview of the outcome of the project results. The functional part of the statement deals with the features or functions of the product, which must be considered and implemented by the developers for ensuring the accomplishment of the tasks. Thus, it is very important to clearly describe the functional requirements to the stakeholders and development team. The functional requirements depict the behavior of the system under specific conditions. The functional requirements in the case of developing the e-commerce website are software requirements specifications documents. It presents certain details of use cases and user stories. Use cases include an overall view of the connection between different actors of the project, their use cases, and the overall system. Acceptance criteria must accompany the user stories. The INVEST quality model (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable). It also includes the work breakdown structure, which allows allocating the activities concerning time and their respective resources. The prototype is also included in the functional requirements. The prototype of the website also covers the design documentation of the process. The models and diagrams required are also included in the process. It includes Wireframes, Mockups, and Design prototypes.

Technical Requirements for Integration of E-commerce Components (1 page)
The technical requirements are associated with the hardware and software components required to complete the e-commerce website. For example, the programming language used for the integration of e-commerce websites is JavaScript. The software component of the technical requirements includes analytics, standards, and software modules. The software module can include API (application programming interface), content management systems, database management systems, etc. An overview of the requirements is given in the image below:

The other components include the standards required to be followed by the designers and engineers working on the project. The analytics of the system includes three or more types of analytics. These can be web analytics, text analytics, big data, and others. The hardware components used for the project are information security and repository. These are all the physical setups used in the project, including firewalls, servers, encryption devices, coding hardware, and others. Thus, the most important technical requirements necessary to integrate the e-commerce components are hardware and software components.
Potential Risks, Constraints, and Assumptions
Risks
Risks are the dangers or threats that can occur to any project. The risks can cause a postponement or termination of a project. Thus, it is important to identify the risks at the beginning of the project. Risk identifications give the project managers a chance to go over the mitigation steps that help reduce the severity of risk, which helps reduce the impact on the project’s overall performance. Project risks can be related to resources, either human, financial, or physical, scope, time, cost, and other related factors. The aim is to reduce the level of negative risks as low as possible. Risks associated with the current project and their respective mitigation strategies are provided in the table below:

Risk

The most significant constraints facing the e-commerce start-up project are mainly due to the company’s limitations and resources and resources. Most of the time, the project constraints are linked with each other. These constraints have been identified:
· Proper definition and understanding of the scope of the project is a constraint.
· The limited time applied by the organization is 60 days.
· The budget limitation due to the narrowed total revenues of the organization.
· The potential risks to the project are the constraints of the project.
The project must be completed keeping in mind all these constraints.

The most significant assumptions related to defining this project scope, objectives, and approach scope include:
· The project will be completed within the allocated time.
· All the resources required for the project will be available.
· All the human resources will have the required skills and will understand the project scope completely.
· All the objectives of the project will be met with the required resources.
