Assessing Project Feasibility

Feasibility analysis determines the likelihood of project success. It requires that all elements impacted by the proposed solution be studied.

To perform a feasibility analysis, a couple of guidelines to follow are:

  • Make sure that you have addressed any regulatory constraints by researching industry or government regulations that apply. Examples are Federal Regs, OSHA, FCC, Dept or Transportation, and Dept of Labor

  • Pay special attention to cultural achievability of the proposed change. One idea is to ask the stakeholders if the organizational changes required for the project are realistic

  • Remember to use Subject Matter Experts, SME, when needed in order to ensure that all systems impacted by the project are catalogued

  • Take a careful look at the stability of the technology. Ask yourself whether or not the identified technical requirement are based upon technology that is operationally stable, available, and affordable.
