Vision

This tinkering product will be like buying a pizza with pizza.de. Get a notification when it is Friday afternoon - time for a pizza - open the notification, just pick some key ingredients and submit your request. The pizza will then be delivered to your apartment in almost no time. Now think of delivering water or even minerals to your plant at home in no time, whenever it is time for a refreshment.

Persona

Name

Kirstin

Job

  • A consultant with more money than time.
  • Always on the go.

Attitude

  • Wants to feel at home, when she comes back to her apartment after the business journeys which sometimes take several weeks.
  • Hast one or two plants at home which have a value in terms of making the home nice and something that is worth calling it a home.
  • Wants to feel at home - at least a bit, when she is on her business trips.
  • Wants to have a plant but doesn't want to care for it. So she is no gardener, more some kind of an owner.
  • Does not care about tech at all. If she uses tech, it simply has to work. Tech has to stay quiet, not calling for attention that is not related to the core function of that tech product.
  • She does not want to spend a minute on maintaining the product. Don't you dare to ask her to download an update.

Context of Product Usage

  • Uses her smartphone almost all of the time
  • Reacts to push notifications when they are shown in the lock screen of the telephone but does forget about them when the have been swiped away.
  • Communicates with friends and colleagues about her apartment and what she has done there on the weekends to make it more worth coming back to it.
  • Uses the phone often in slack times, which might be the taxi or the public transport. These circumstances lead often to a poor internet connection.
  • She gets frustrated pretty fast, if she has to wait for e.g. a website to show up.

Product Constraints

  • If Kirstin waters the plant manually the product must be capable of getting wet without malfunction or the risk of causing harm to Kirstin.

Technical Product Constraints

  • We use an Arduino UNO and MEGA 2560 for prototyping
