Target users

This page describes the way of finding what the target users of the EcoSim software is and what the main target users for the wild boar module would be.

Problem

How can I find what are the target users of the software module we are going to make a prototype of?

Solution and Methodology

Library Literature Study was used to define the target groups for which Ecosim has products. They are the following:

• Dutch students from high school - to university level to in ecological processes and to introduce them to the issues that are important in nature conservation.

• Canadian colleagues (briefing)

• a serious game for education from high school to university level, and a simulator for nature conservation professionals.

Discussion with the project manager was

Result

In addition to the list of users, a table with the concrete target group for each Ecosim product was made

Target audeance for the different Ecosim products

Quality of the result

Discussion with project manager was made. That lead to the idea of creating a proposal for the client which uses wild boar managers at Grenspark Kempen~Broek in the province of Limburg as target users and students as a proxy test group.

Next steps

The target users proposal should be made to the client.
