Feasibility StudyFeasibility Study
After the system request was developed, Lyndsay and Jeff conducted a feasibilityconducted a feasibility study.
The feasibility study focused on economic, technical, and organizational feasibility.
Lyndsay and Jeff created extensive documentation to support the summary conclusions indicated.
Economic feasibilityEconomic feasibility
Based on the current available financial resources from the Volunteer Center, it has been determined that the proposed solution must be relatively inexpensiverelatively inexpensive.
Even with this budgetary constraint, the project team believed a solution can be obtained.
Technical feasibilityTechnical feasibility With the young technical skills of the
project team consisting of senior MIS students, a certain degree of risk appears certain degree of risk appears to be evidentto be evident.
The faculty resources will guide the student project team in all aspects of the project.
Organizational feasibilityOrganizational feasibilityAn analysis of VCR staff indicates:
