Project
Target market segment for study: Families in the US with 2 or more kids in elementary schools (PS-5), all living together in the same household; both the parents are working full time from 9am to 5pm and are between 30 & 40 yrs old, well educated, and in a medium to high income bracket.
*  
*We believe:
*  
** These families are leading an extremely busy & demanding lifestyle constantly juggling many different aspects of their daily life spanning home, work, kids, shopping, hobbies etc.
UX
** These families seem to always be short on time.
*  
** They are overwhelmed with their day to day routines that they feel they haven’t had enough time to spend on things close to their heart.
*  
** These families crave to have some time back on their hands; a simple way for them to get stuff done, but not have to spend an eternal amount of time on it.
*  
 
Engineering
The study, which included interviews of 18 families in the targeted segment, tested the following hypotheses:
*  
 
*  
* The busy families want an easy way to help them with personalized reminders & memos for various people in their household.
*  
 
Participation
* The busy families want a way their children can interact with a device that can help with homework
*  
 
*   
* The busy families want a simple way to order groceries (etc.) & get it delivered without having to use a screen no matter whether they are home or away.
 
* The busy families want an easy way for everyone in their household to listen to music without any supervision or screen time.
 
Research data synthesized from these interviews tells us that busy families:
*Want an easy way to create & manage their household calendars to enable communication between their families and associated caretakers (nanny, baby sitter, grandparents)
*Would like for an easy & intuitive way to play their shows on the TV along with the ability to retain custom preferences & share recommendations based on these preferences
*Have a desire to equip their homes with smart devices that they would like to control from within their house & remotely
*Would like for a way to order groceries from recipes and/or get recommendations for recipes based on the groceries at home
*Want a way to create to-do lists & shopping lists that is accessible from anywhere
 
Current step: MVP definition
*Team is brainstorming features and functionality, based on the research, to include in the MVP. Sessions were held last week and more are being held this week.
*Link team is simultaneously investigating collaborations or partnerships with 3rd parties.
