# Success Metrics and Validation Plan

## Team Goals
*Discuss and identify any team goals that you think would be important to tackle*

* Tackle the food-entry problem as best we can via Alexa and the shopping list tab
* Make a clean and intuitive experience for our users
* Provide a central platform for roommates or families to organize their shopping
* Visualize food waste to users
* Help users actively reduce food waste

## Success Metrics
*what are some success metrics that you might use for your product / customers / your team / your cs98?*

* 90% success on parsing multiple item Alexa utterances
* Hands-off demo with users (don't have to walk users through how to use our app)
* User retention of more than a week
* Food waste reduction of 10%
* Post our GitHub to a subreddit and get feedback

## Validation Plan
*how do you get from goals to success metrics that are validated? this can be user testing, performance metrics, a public demo, etc. this is your implementation plan to gather the above.*

* We can set up a public demo for Alexa and ask users to simply go through a few items that we can have set up.
* We can set up a public demo for user testing for a hands-off demo with users, trying carefully to select people outside of our age group.
* We can post our app somewhere either Medium or Reddit and track usage by timestamping interactions with Pantri
* We can ask users to estimate their food waste when they first download the app.
* We can write up a post on Reddit on maybe r/frugal or a more software-engineering related subreddit to get advice and user feedback.
