This report is the summary of the progress toward the White Paper project, starting from last Sunday (April 6) to today (April 12).
This week we spent some time brainstorming topics for research and deciding who would research which topic(s). I will be handling research for the "usability" and "reliability" topics for the PDA white paper.
I have a litany of information on these topics, both from the manufacture's websites and from secondary users who have tested these products. The issue now, is which PDAs / smartphones we will choose to to a review on. I'm not sure, but I would think four different devices would be a good number-any more than that and the reader may become overwhelmed. I've also continued to look into potential design features, but haven't come up with too many new ideas since last time.
This week I also created the Gantt chart that was due on Wednesday. I first used Excel to make a bar chart with corresponding due dates and such, but the quantity of information presented on such a chart wasn't enough, so I used conditional formatting on several cells to achieve the finished Gantt Chart.
No need for header
As I mentioned last time, there's no need for that header.
