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 20s - 40s. 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. 3) DEPLOYMENT DAY j.
