7 Economic Cost/benefit analysis Sources of funds (cash flow, long-term capital) Organizational and Cultural Technological Schedule Resource Feasibility Analysis – identify risks early to implement corrective measures

8 It is the measure of how beneficial or practical the development of IS will be to an organization Feasibility Analysis It is the process by which feasibility is measured Categories Operation Technical Economic Schedule Behavioral Political In general PIECES ( P erformance, I nformation, E conomy, C ontrol, E fficiency, S ervices) is considered

9 Operational viability. User need, management support, effective usage. Training, resources for training. Reduction of employs … what about them. Involvement of users. Operation charges?, if so compare with overall gain. Side affects of the new system. Is scheduling is reasonable. Look for ethical and legal issues.
10
10 Technically feasible. Is need there. Capacity of equipment Reliable and long term planning for H/W & S/W Exact specifications System be able to handle the projected growth
11
11 Economically desirable. People H/W & S/W In house development / purchase Formal and informal training Licenses and fees Consulting expenses Facility cost other
12
12 Each company has own culture New system must fit into culture Evaluate related issues for potential risks Low level of computer competency Computer phobia Perceived loss of control Shift in power Fear of job change or employment loss Reversal of established work procedures

13 Estimates needed without complete information Management deadlines may not be realistic Project managers: Drive to realistic assumptions and estimates Recommend completion date flexibility Assign interim milestones to periodically reassess completion dates Involve experienced personnel Manage proper allocation of resources

14 Team member availability Team skill levels Computers, equipment, and supplies Support staff time and availability Physical facilities

15 Reduction of cost Where, When, How and How much? Increase in revenue Where, When, How and How much? Better Result How and Are they measurable? Will the system serve customer, organization better How much the project life is? Are necessary people available to proceed with? Is the project absolutely necessary? Tangible and Intangible factors

19
19 Obtain Authorization Identify the necessary information Understand the problem Define the project scope & constraints Identify benefits Estimate the time and cost Report to management
20
20 Fact finding Organization chart Interview Documents review Observe current operation Survey Analyze the information
