| Week 2 | Research tools and resources that will supplement the development of the mockup program. |
| Week 3 | Encourage the team to familarise themselves with Adobe Creative Suite, such as Adobe XD, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Appypie eliminated due to the cost factor. |
| Week 4 | Create application mockup using Adobe XD. Python program put forward for database management. |
| Week 5 | Execution of mockup design, detailed product plan outlined and Python program designing the implementation of proposed information to be inputted. |
| Week 6 | Genenerated mockup presentation of the application at work. Refine documented proposal on the application's benefit to a consumer in the marketplace, what the features and benefits are to prospective stakeholders. |

User interface and user experience designer tailor layouts and create prototypes. Do some market research on user behaviour with the way app interfaces are implemented. |
| Week 9 | Refining the development of the database being able to record input made by the user. Using this week to further refine the design of the app layout and the navigation from page to page. |
| Week 10 | Using the data imported by the user, to have the capacity to send a shopping list to a local shopping partner, such as an IGA grocer or to Coles Online and have the order fulfilled based on automatic replenishment for a consumer. Ensure the testing phase for the UI/UX integration is seamless. |
| Week 11 | Program macronutrients into populated recipes and expand the library of recipes for the app to retrieve. The development timeframe needs to be allowed to push through any lag in delay of app development in the following weeks and thorough testing to ensure the value proposition is accurate to the program's promise. |
| Week 12 | Just like the previous week any outstanding design work, implementations and testing is to be conducted during this week. |
| Week 13 | Project manager to review the timeframe and budget and ensure the development has been successfully on track. Ensure partnerships are finalised with stakeholders and advertising campaign is conducted, with traditional means and digital marketing avenues. A stall could be organised and set up at the local shopping mall to introduce customers at supermarkets of the apps potential to provide benefit to their life under brand and product awareness. Development team to focus on finetuning. |
| Week 14 | Use this week to refine development of the application, with the connectivity to local grocers and delivery partners that service locally and pilot a demonstration to ensure product testing has the approval of the quality assurance engineer and project manager. |
| Week 15 | Pivot a release of the app and submit through to the App Store and Play Store for official launch. |
