Functional Design 

How to analyze the requirements for a remote control

In this first design phase: the functional design, you, as a marketing expert, have to come up with the User requirements specification: what needs and desires are to be fulfilled.

Remember from the explanation of the general design method (check your mail-box), the user requirements specification of the coffee machine was: hot coffee, quickly made . For a remote control, the user requirements specification may be somewhat more complicated, however.

You are asked to:

1. Search the web for information on remote control user needs and desires (go to the home page of the web browser).
2. Put your findings down in the pre-structured PowerPoint slides, which will be send to you by e-mail. You can easily copy text or images from the documents and websites (just right-click the pictures) to your PowerPoint slides.
3. Save the PowerPoint slides in the shared folder on your desktop.
4. Prepare your presentation for the next meeting.
