Feasibility study
A feasibility study is an evaluation of a proposal designed to determine the difficulty in carrying out a designated task. In other words, a feasibility study is an evaluation or analysis of the potential impact of a proposed project.
Feasibility study
Five common factors (TELOS)
1.Technology and system feasibility
The assessment is based on an outline design of system requirements in terms of Input, Processes, Output, Fields, Programs, and Procedures. Can be quantified in terms of volumes of data, trends, frequency of updating, etc. in order to estimate whether the new system will perform adequately or not. It is carried out to determine whether the company has the capability, in terms of software, hardware, personnel and expertise, to handle the completion of the project
Feasibility study
2.Economic feasibility Also known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected and compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the system. An entrepreneur must accurately weigh the cost versus benefits before taking an action. Cost Based Study: It is important to identify cost and benefit factors, which can be categorized as follows: Development costs and Operating costs. Time Based Study: This is an analysis of the time required to achieve a return on investments.
Feasibility study
3.Legal feasibility Determines whether the proposed system conflicts with legal requirements, e.g. a data processing system must comply with the local Data Protection Acts. 4.Operational feasibility Is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems, and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development.
Feasibility study
5.Schedule feasibility
project will fail if it takes too long to be completed before it is useful. Typically this means estimating how long the system will take to develop, and if it can be completed in a given time period using some methods like payback period. Schedule feasibility is a measure of how reasonable the project timetable is. Given our technical expertise, are the project deadlines reasonable? Some projects are initiated with specific deadlines. You need to determine whether the deadlines are mandatory or desirable.
