Project Timeline, Prototyping Sketches, and Use Cases

Today we had a long chat about where our current product fits in with our research and the problem of food waste.

To do that, we made a project timeline charting what we had done throughout the course of the project. In particular we looked at the scope. In the bottom left hand corner of the timeline sheet, you can see the tracking of our project scope from the whole of food and sustainability to our smallest point at portion control, then back a little wider for the current design solution, which approaches food waste from the knowledge and education angles.










After we were satisfied with that, Ryan and Liza started making preliminary sketches of the design for our card prototype.








We also developed use cases. They are, from top to bottom:

Go to Tesco without any particular plan in mind, buy what you normally buy and put it all in the fridge. Then, choose a method card and ingredient cards to fill out the recipe.

Or, start with having only a few things in your fridge. Take the ingredient cards for those, and see what method card works for what you have.

Or, use the cards to decide what you want to cook to eat, make a list of ingredients, and then go to Tesco to buy it.
