User story prioritization process:
54
55
The base requirement of all user stories included in the MVP is that they must meet at least one high-level product design goal.
56
57
DESIGN GOAL 1
58
Reduce or eliminate friction at every step towards the formation of healthy eating habits
59
Designing to promote behavioral change must extend beyond simply providing information. Supporting people on their journey towards health entails removing friction at every step, such as the planning, purchasing, and cooking of healthy foods.
60
61
DESIGN GOAL 2
62
Give clear, actionable information and provide a means to measure one's progress
63
The UI has to seamlessly transition users from meal-planning mode to meal-cooking mode. Additionally, providing a means to track one's progress towards a goal is critical in a habit-formation app. In the words of Scott Belsky, "one has to feel progress in order to make more progress."
64
65
Features that provide high value to the largest amount of users (and thus encourage app adoption) receive the highest priority level.
66
67
Medium-priority stories tend to significantly improve the overall personalized meal-planning experience, but are not critical to the functioning of the meal-planning app.
68
69
Low-priority stories add to the enjoyment of the experience, but only caters to a small or niche group of users.
