Capstone 1 - Inventory Management System User Interface (UI)

Your task is to Build an Inventory Management for the business of your choice. It can be for a grocery store, a car dealership, a jewelry shop, a cell phone store, a book store, or any other legitimate business that maintains an inventory. Take some time to plan out your strategy for completing this project. As the saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

In the root of this repository, you will find a a pdf file outlining a methodology to approaching & solving any problem. The file is called : "Polya's Problem Solving Framework.pdf" Feel free to research and learn more about the framework online, or simply use the .pdf file as a primary reference.

Before you dive into coding, follow the steps of Prolem Solving framework, and document the steps you will be taking for this project in the UPER.md file.

As part of your planning process, you may want to look into some UX design tools, otherwise known as "wireframing" tools. A few examples are :

  • Figma
  • Sketch
  • Balsamiq
  • Omni Graffle
  • Mockplus
  • Adobe XD
