Elevator Pitch

3. MVP 1 User Testing Experiences
Feature Average Importance (1-5) Average Satisfaction
Creating an Account 5 4.4
Add a Plant to your Garden 4.2 3.8
Log achieving a goal 4.4 2.4
Check the leaderboard 3 2.6
Overall Rating 4.15 3.3

4. ● “Leaderboard should be more interactive for the user. It doesn’t give me a
lot of information. The text is also hard to read.”
● “It would be cool if there was more game like stuff on the website. Once you
log your goal there isn’t really much to make you want to stay.”
● “I wish I could customize my plant pictures, so each of the goals could
stand out from each other.”
● “You shouldn’t erase all the progress if I just miss one day. That would
make me not want to ever login again.”

5. Shortcomings and Solutions
Shortcomings Solutions
Leaderboard isn’t motivating/interactive Including weekly and overall leaderboard
Standardized goals aren’t always useful Option to “create own” goal
Plant deletion after missed day is
discouraging
Plants will “shrink” rather than disappear
Multiple goal plants look the same and
boring
Each goal will have a different plant
