    It serves the needs of IT professionals. Generally, documenting any research for many IT Pros can be a challenge to say the least. This text teaches you think and work in structured manner; gather the right resources; asking the right type of questions; think critically, act responsibly with what you have discovered and then prepare and present your research proposal to the point of finally obtaining acceptance to go ahead with the necessary research.
