Task 9: Evaluate Methodology
The purpose of the research is to evaluate a wide range of traditional and nontraditional
methodologies. This can be used for the purpose of developing the new computerized system
that will help in the working of company and will ensure proper way of maintaining the
documents. Moreover with the use of evaluation and requirements methodology the project
specification can be done efficiently.

Task 15: Gather Feedback
For gathering the feedback the survey done below was performed:
The survey questions are:
 Are the communication facility efficient enough in the network?
 Are the file management functionalities working properly in the network?
 Does the network provide an wireless access
 Is the there is lack in the security feature of the network?
 Does the network hamper your Privacy?
The link for the form is provided below:

Task 16: Evaluate Feedback
The responses were collected from 5 users in the network. The evaluation of the
feedbacks is provided below:

Thus from the above results it can be inferred that the network which has been developed
is pretty useful for the users, however the implementation of the wireless access in the network
would enhance the network immensely.
