2)  PROJECTS AIM AND GOAL

f.  Proposal Revision

•  First project proposal rejected due to time constraint and scope.

•  Focused on a specific router for security set up. Too many routers are available, so we

chose the most common.

•  Our focus is to have the client set up their own secured wireless network.

g.  Audience Analysis

•  Minor changes to specify what was required of the client.

•  The target is to small business owners in their mid 20’s - 40’s.

h.  Usability Test

•  Positive feedback with Usability Testing. Most test subjects found manual complete and 

informative.

•  Our aim is to have clients with little computer knowledge set up their own secure

wireless network. 

•  Add index and reference page. 

•  Our goal is 100% approval from all test subjects. 

i.  Technical Manual

•  First draft of manual had too much white space.

•  Revised format to be smaller and more convenient. 

•  Second draft included pictures to make the manual easier to follow.

•  Final draft includes Table of Contents and Reference. 

•  Our goal is for the manual to be the only reference for router setup.
