FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
Feasibility analysis
- guides the organization in determining
whether to proceed with the project.
- identifies the important risks
associated with the project that must be
managed if the project is approved
Include techniques to assess three
areas: technical feasibility, economic
feasibility, and organizational feasibility

Economic Feasibility: also called a
cost–benefit analysis, to answer the
question “Should we build the system?”
- determined by identifying costs and
benefits associated with the system,
- assigning values to them,
- calculating future
pa cash flows, and
- measuring the financial worthiness of
the project.
Result: the financial opportunities and
risks of the project can be understood

Organizational Feasibility: how well the system ultimately will be accepted by its
users and incorporated into the ongoing operations of the organization, to answer
the question “If we build it, will they come?”

Estimating the Project Time Frame
• 37
Task Information
37
To create a work plan, the project manager identifies the tasks that need to be
accomplished and determines how long each one will take. Then the tasks are
organized within a work breakdown structure.
• Identify Tasks * (Fig. 2-12)
• The project work plan (Fig. 2-13)

Staffing the Project
Staffing the project includes determining how many people should be assigned to the project,
matching people’s skills with the needs of the project, motivating them to meet the project’s
objectives, and minimizing project team conflict that will occur over time
Staffing Plan
1. The first step to staffing is determining the average number of staff needed for the
project
2. Motivation : project managers need to motivate the people to make the project a
success
3. Handling Conflict : The third component of staffing is organizing the project to
minimize conflict among group members
