Major Project Status Report:

By now you should be well along in your projects.   Start thinking about the following topics, if you have not already, and prepare a short report on them.  This report can be an informal text document in ASCII text or in any of the usual word-processing applications, without any of the usual trappings of a report.  I am most interested in getting input on your project status.

1.  Make sure that you are clear on how your idea is better than the present situation.  Explain that briefly in your report.  Try to be as quantitative as possible.

2.  Look over the background section of your proposal and try to develop more quantitative statements.  For example, you might consider the number of people who presently buy a product you are trying to improve.

3. The major task for this assignment is design alternatives.  Consider at least two alternatives to your chosen design, and work on a decision matrix to decide among the three or more alternatives.  Use the techniques described in the text and discussed briefly in class.
