1 Introduction
1. Google Docs : Google Docs is an online word processor developed by
Google, offering users the ability to create, edit, and collaborate on doc-
uments in real-time over the internet. It includes features for formatting
text, inserting images, and sharing documents securely.
2. Google Slides : Google Slides is a web-based presentation tool by Google,
allowing users to create, edit, and present slideshows collaboratively. It
features templates, animations, and integration with Google Drive for easy
storage and sharing of presentations.
3. Google Sheets : Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet program
provided by Google. It enables users to create, edit, and analyze data
in spreadsheets. Google Sheets supports formulas, charts, and real-time
collaboration, making it suitable for tasks ranging from simple calculations
to complex data analysis.
4. Google Forms : Google Forms is a tool for creating online surveys,
quizzes, and forms. Users can design custom forms, collect responses in
real-time, and analyze the data automatically using Google Sheets. Google
Forms simplifies data collection and feedback gathering processes.

2 Planning
Objective : Define the project’s purpose and scope.

2.1 Activities
• Conduct feasibility studies to evaluate the viability of the web-based ap-
plications
• Gather initial requirements from stakeholders including users, product
managers, and IT staff.
• Identify resources needed (time, budget, technology, personnel).

• Develop a project plan with timelines and milestones.

2.2 Deliverables
• Project Plan: Outlines the overall strategy, timeline, and resources re-
quired.
• Feasibility Report: Analyzes the technical, economic, and operational fea-
sibility of the project.

2.3 Case study examples

• Project Scope: Develop a web-based word processor/presentation/spreadsheets/form
and survey tools for creating, editing, and sharing documents online.
• Feasibility Study Results: Confirmed the technical capability to build the
system within the budget and timeline.

3 Requirement Analysis
3.1 Activities
• Conduct User Interviews and Surveys
• Analyze Market Trends and Competitor Features:

• Define functional and non-functional requirements

• Identify and Document Potential Risks and Constraints

3
3.2 Deliverables
• Comprehensive list of all functional and non-functional requirements.
• Visual representations of how users will interact with the system

• Profiles representing different user types.

3.3 Case study examples

• Project Scope : To develop the different types of documents like word or
presentation or survey form online using web applications.

4 Design
4.1 Activities
• Design the overall architecture, including client-server interactions and
database design

• Define the structure of the database, including tables, relationships, and

indexing
• Conduct usability testing with stakeholders to validate design choices and
gather feedback

• work closely with the development team to ensure that the design is fea-
sible and aligns with technical capabilities.

4.2 Deliverables
• Describes the overall architecture
• Visual representations of the UI layout and structure
• Defines the structure of the database, including tables, relationships, and
indexing.

• Detailed documentation of API endpoints, data models, and user interface

elements.

4.3 Case study example

• Project scope : To design the apps to make user feels easier to use the
apps like docs, slides etc. instead of Microsoft and creates in such a way
that all of features will be free of cost
