FEASIBILITY PLUS A BUSINESS PLAN

The Elements of a Good Feasibility or a Business Plan

Those who do not do their homework do not graduate," Bryce's Law” In its simplest form, a Feasibility Study represents a definition of a problem or opportunity to be studied, an analysis of the current mode of operation, a definition of requirements, an evaluation of alternatives, and an agreed upon course of action. As such, the activities for preparing a Feasibility Study are generic in nature and
can be applied to any type of project, be it for systems and software development, making an acquisition, or any other project.

The Project Scope which is used to define the business problem and/or opportunity to be addressed, Is one major tool for effective feasibility study. The old adage, "The problem well stated is half solved," is very apropos. The scope should be definitive and to the point; rambling narrative serves no purpose and can actually confuse project participants. It is also necessary to define the parts of the business affected either directly or indirectly, including project participant and end-user areas affected by the project. The project sponsor should be identified, particularly if he/she is footing the bills. I have seen too many projects in the corporate world, which started without a well-defined project scope, finally crashed landed at the long run. Consequently, projects without a well-developed break down structure usually wandered in and out of their boundaries causing complex problems for both the owners and executors

Requirements - how requirements are defined depends on the object of the project's attention. For example, how requirements are specified for a product are substantially different than requirements for an edifice, a bridge, or an information system. Each exhibits totally different properties and, as such, are defined differently. How you define requirements for software is also substantially different than how you define them for systems.

The Approach represents the recommended solution or course of action to satisfy the requirements. Here, various alternatives are considered along with an explanation as to why the preferred solution was selected. In terms of design related projects, it is here where whole rough designs (e.g., "renderings") are developed in order to determine viability. It is also at this point where the use of existing structures and commercial alternatives are considered (e.g., "build versus buy" decisions). The overriding considerations though are: Does the recommended approach satisfy the requirements? Is it a practical and viable solution? A thorough analysis here is needed in order to perform the next step...

Evaluation - examines the cost effectiveness of the approach selected. This begins with an analysis of the estimated total cost of the project. In addition to the recommended solution, other alternatives are estimated in order to offer an economic comparison. For development projects, an estimate of labour and out-of- pocket expenses is assembled along with a project schedule showing the project path and start- and-end dates. After the total cost of the project has been calculated, a cost and evaluation summary is prepared which includes such things as a cost/benefit analysis, return on investment, etc.

Review or appraisal - all of the preceding elements are then assembled into a Feasibility Study and a formal review is conducted with all parties involved. The review serves two purposes: to substantiate the thoroughness and accuracy of the Feasibility Study, and to make a project decision; either approve it, reject it, or ask that it be revised before making a final decision. If approved, it is very important that all parties sign the document which expresses their acceptance and commitment to it; it may be a seemingly small gesture, but signatures carry a lot of weight later on as the project progresses. If the Feasibility Study is rejected, the reasons for its rejection should be explained and attached to the document.

In conclusion, it should be remembered that a Feasibility Study is more of a way of thinking as opposed to a bureaucratic process. 

For example, what I have just described is essentially the same process we all follow when purchasing a car or a home.
