Criterion F: Product evaluation and future product development
This criterion should be completed as two parts. The first part deals with the evaluation of the product by the client, including any feedback given and including any problems identified. The second part makes recommendations for the future development of the product.
Feedback from client
This information must be obtained from the client and can be presented in a variety of ways, such as a
written record of the interview (either a summary or transcript), a sound file, a video, or an exchange of
emails that may be supported by a questionnaire.
The evaluation of the completed product should refer directly to the specific performance criteria that form part of the requirements specifications in criterion B, as well as any other appropriate feedback obtained from the client at handover.

Recommendations for the future development of the product
The student will use the client feedback and the evaluation of the specific performance criteria to recommend possible future developments to the product. These recommendations should succinctly explain how possible future developments of the product will be of benefit to the client and/or other stakeholders.

The client evaluation is to be used for the basis of your written evaluation in criterion F (the client evaluation is NOT the product evaluation, it is the basis for your written discussion of the topic) so you should refer to if as you confirm your product met the specs provided in criterion B. Be sure to address EACH performance spec listed in criterion B in your evaluation. You must then expand your discussion to include suggestions for future development.

Here are two samples go give you an idea of where to start. Do NOT copy the example, make your criterion fit your project and specs.

Sample Questionnaire for Client

Marked Sample of Criterion F


Marks Level descriptor
0 The work does not reach the standard described by the descriptors below.
1–2 A limited evaluation of the product, based on feedback from the client is completed, and superficial and impractical recommendations are made for its further development. There is limited reference to the specific performance criteria identified in the requirements specification.
3–4 The product is evaluated, based on feedback from the client and the specific performance criteria identified in the requirements specification, and appropriate recommendation(s) are made for future development of the product.
