4. Prioritization Matrix

5. Top 3-4 problems • Pantry: we want to be able to keep an inventory of the groceries we already have • Shopping List: a list that can automatically generate based on recipes the user has selected and whats currently in our "pantry“ • Dietary Concerns: we want to save preferences about our dietary concerns. For example perhaps we don't want to see recipes that contain peanuts because a family member is allergic. • Recipe Sharing/Browsing: we want to be able to share recipes with others, browse through recipes found online, search for different types of recipes, and be able to add some/all ingredients for a recipe to our shopping list.

6. Top Problem Creating a shopping list from recipe browsing: • Combines two of our top 4 problems to form the main goal we have in mind • We want to be able to plan meals by picking recipes, and then form a shopping list for the items we would need for those recipes

7. Top Problem - Reasoning Creating a shopping list from recipe browsing: • We chose this as our top problem because it is something that we would like to be able to do, that doesn't seem to exist. • Creating a shopping list and being able to browse recipes are two problems that are essential to meal planning, and being able to do both with one app would be ideal • It also would be more efficient, since you won't have to write down all the ingredients you need for each recipe - the app would do it for you.

8. Problem Analysis - Significance • Planning meals for a family can be very difficult and time consuming • Even more difficult knowing what ingredients are needed for those meals • Difficult to type each individual ingredient, would be nice to have an "add all" feature

9. Problem Analysis - Stakeholders Families, housemates, etc. • Anyone who wants to or has to cook their own meals, or cook for large groups • App streamlines planning, purchasing, cooking • Possible monetary incentives (coupon offers)

10. Problem Analysis - Stakeholders Stores, corporations • Potential to draw in business • (Customers + Revenue) • Financial incentive to support app • Have reason to partner if coupon offers are added later

11. Problem Analysis - Precedents Recipe Browsers • Apps with advanced recipesearching and filtering • Includes ingredients list,preparation instructions, favorites,meal randomization, & more • Despite all these features, theylack grocery list integration - haveto save or write down eachingredient

12. Problem Analysis - Precedents Shopping Checklists • Essentially checklist / to-do list applications with slightly more features • Autocomplete / categorization ofingredients, price estimates, list syncing& sharing, barcode scanning, pantry list • Lacks integration with recipe browsers.Typing each ingredient is slow.No guidance when making list

13. Problem Analysis - Competition AnyList for iOS • Fairly new app. First to effectivelyintegrate grocery lists and recipebrowsing. • Making a list is easy - look up recipes for the week and simply "add all ingredients“ to your list • Acts as an recipe aggregator by parsing many different recipe websites instead of having its own recipe database

14. Problem Analysis - Competition AnyList for iOS (cont.) • We can improve on this by polishing features and understanding the customer • Pantry feature will eliminate unnecessary items in list • Better recipe discovery: filter based on preparation time, dietary restrictions, type of dish, price, etc. • Greater focus on meal planning – more than just individual recipes
