In New Product Development in the spring of 2011, we were assigned to work through the new product process to design a product and present it. After hundreds of ideas, we decided to pursue a food ordering app for smartphones because, let's face it, we're lazy and prefer to use a phone. This is our presentation.

Editor's Notes
- Brainstormed with some giant white board sessions that lasted a couple hours and produced a wealth of ideas… some good… most not.
- Then we figured we could just brand anything with Justin Bieber and people would buy it…
- Or Star Wars. But looking at all these ideas and trying to pick the best ones, we realized that we missed something…
- We forgot to consider pains.So, we took a couple days and tried to think about all the things that annoyed us
- Narrowed down the options through what we have termed as “Spreadsheet of cool”Each person got their own score sheet where they rated according to their gut feeling…On four dimensions: Feasibility, Profitability, Market Size and awesomenessEach of these were averaged across individuals for each product to create a consolidated scoreWhich we put into a graph that adjusted in real-time (thank you Google Docs).We took the three highest scores and moved forward.
- We wanted to see what types of things were out there before we moved too far along and also to confirm that what we discovered as pains were in fact pains.
