Agenda

• Question storming prioritization matrix -> select questions we want for the secondary research
• Nail down on the sources we want to look at for the sec research.
• Write instructions + notify Design leads so they can help prepare the Figjam workspace for this activity. Let me check if I have any literature review template too.
• Agree on due date. I’m thinking of Thursday EOD for now so we can discuss on Friday and create research plan, research q’s, interview questions.

Key Takeaways

Goals & Deliverables

Next week

Current Roadmap (as of Oct. 27) - agreed on between UXR leads!

• How Rachel and Nguyet understand the end goal - a SaaS product for people or organizations who want to start a food redistribution system

• Research activities:

1. Conduct a case study on secondary research to test out our assumptions and to understand:

• What food redistribution and food waste mean for the scope of this project?
• What are the problems in the current redistribution systems (look into NGO white papers, journal articles, blog posts from NGOs, etc.)

2. From our secondary research and assumption mapping, build a research plan and focus research questions. We want to get in touch with users to understand the problems they are facing when setting up a food redistribution system and to evaluate our assumptions so far.

• Define the research goals, user criteria.

• Share the research plan with the whole team.

• Start recruitment look into Evan’s contacts and on LinkedIn of who we can interview (might be next week)

• Get a high-level recap of Research, Design, Strategy competitor research findings to help us distill key users.

• As noted by Rachel, if we can identify one main target user for our first MVP by end of Sprint 2 or early Sprint 3, I think it's a great place to help you draft the product brief.

• Looking ahead to next week, we may already need to reach out to Evan’s contacts to recruit users for interviews.
  | - Continue recruitment efforts

• Refining research plan, research questions. Tentatively, the method would be a 30-45 min user interview, but this method can change if we decide another method is better. **It’s more important that we agree on the research goal and research questions, then the method will reveal itself.

-** Prepare for Demo #2

• Review and assist Strategy with the Product brief as needed. | In Sprint 3, we'll conduct the interviews and distill the findings.

Ultimately, in these last two sprints, UXR wants to provide personas, and mapping delivrables to help the next phase know who our users are (either customer journey mapping, or empathy mapping). | Finalize UXR deliverables

Write Handoff for the next phase |
