Report Mini Project
Feasibility study A procedure that identifies, describes, and evaluates candidates systems and selects the best system for the job. Depending on the results of the initial investigation, the survey is expanded to a more detailed feasibility study. Feasibility study is a test of system proposal according to its workability, impact on the organization, ability to meet user needs, and effective use of resources. It focuses on three major questions:
1) What are the user’s demonstrable needs and how does a candidate system meet them?
2) What resources are available for given candidate systems? Is the problem worth solving?
3) What are the likely impacts of the candidate system on the organization? How well does it fit within the organization’s master MIS plan?
Each of these questions must be answered carefully. They revolve around investigation and evaluation of the problem, identification and description of candidate systems, specification of performance and the cost of each system, and the final selection of the best system.
The objective of feasibility is not to solve the problem but to acquire the sense of its scope. During the study, the problem definition is crystallized and aspects of the problem to be included in the system are determined. Consequently, costs & benefits are estimated with greater accuracy at this stage.
The result of the feasibility study is a formal proposal. This is simply a report – a formal document detailing the nature and scope of the proposed solution. The proposal summarizes what is going to be done. It consists of the following:
1) Statement of the problem – A carefully worded statement of the problem that led to analysis.
2) Summary of finding and recommendations – A list of major findings and recommendations of the study. It is ideal for the user who requires quick access to the analysis of the system under study. Conclusions are stated, followed by a list of the recommendations and a justification for them.
