The project group had several resources to help them work on this project. They had all taken the circuit design course that this software was used in, so they were all in a position to help each other out with their prior knowledge of this material. They also received feedback from students who were currently taking the class using the software that they were trying to fix and improve. Dr. Newberry was also an important resource for them, but since he was not their only resource, they were also able to draw the information they needed from several different sources:
Prior Knowledge: they were their own subject matter experts
Students in class: software users
Dr. Newberry: customer/client
