Week – 3 The Feasibility Study in Project Management Flashcards
with the rise of project management comes the need for a
feasibility study.
5 Types of Feasibility Study
Technical Feasibility
Economic Feasibility
Legal Feasibility
Operational Feasibility
Scheduling Feasibility
evaluates the project’s potential for success; therefore, perceived objectivity is an essential factor in the credibility of the study for potential investors and lending institutions.
A feasibility analysis
This assessment focuses on the technical resources available to the organization.
Technical Feasibility
It helps organizations determine whether the technical resources meet capacity and whether the technical team is capable of converting the ideas into working systems.
Technical Feasibility
also involves the evaluation of the hardware, software, and other technical requirements of the proposed system.
Technical Feasibility
this assessment typically involves a cost/ benefits analysis of the project, helping organizations determine the viability, cost, and benefits associated with a project before financial resources are allocated
Economic Feasibility
It also serves as an independent project assessment and enhances project credibility—helping decision-makers determine the positive economic benefits to the organization that the proposed project will provide.
Economic Feasibility
This assessment investigates whether any aspect of the proposed project conflicts with legal requirements like zoning laws, data protection acts or social media laws.
Legal Feasibility
This assessment involves undertaking a study to analyze and determine whether—and how well—the organization’s needs can be met by completing the project.
Operational Feasibility
also examine how a project plan satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development.
Operational Feasibility
This assessment is the most important for project success; after all, a project will fail if not completed on time.
Scheduling Feasibility
an organization estimates how much time the project will take to complete.
Scheduling Feasibility
the feasibility analysis helps identify any constraints the proposed project may face, including:
- Internal Project Constraints
- Internal Corporate Constraints
- External Constraints
Internal Project Constraints
Technical, Technology, Budget, Resource, etc.
