1 Project Description
Tiro Sethate, a Botswana National
who is a PhD student in the
Department of Computer Science at
UCT is currently investigating the
problems associated with ECommerce in developing countries.
One of the requirements is an ECommerce portal which will allow
formal and informal merchants in
developing countries to advertise and
sell their goods on the internet. This
would permit rural communities to
make their wares available to the rest
of the world via the World Wide Web.

Questions Tackled
4.1 RISKS
Some of the risks that we must
account for while the project is under
way are:
The hard drive containing the
project code and
documentation crashes (Can
be mitigated by keeping
multiple backups of all code
and documentation)
One of the team members falls
ill and cannot work (Can be
mitigated by constantly
informing each other of what
the other is doing, so he may
take over the others work until
the ill team member has
recovered).

Work detail

includes the development of all the ecommerce portal components, writing
up of the report as well as the

project website. Please see the
appendix for a detailed Gantt chart of
the project.
