Creating a plan for testing new popcorn flavor

Testing new flavor with friends

The situation

They wanted to test a new popcorn flavor with a group of friends over the weekend. The plan was to gather feedback and see how the flavor was received. This was a casual gathering, but they still wanted to be organized about it. They had made a note to themselves to come up with a simple plan for the tasting. They were looking for a way to make the tasting fun and useful for getting feedback.

  • Keep it as context when no action is called for

Write a three-line plan for testing the new popcorn flavor with ten friends this weekend and save it to files.
