When to do a Feasibility Study?
A feasibility study is an expensive and time consuming process. A feasibility study is conducted once a defined outline is composed along with one or more alternative business models or scenarios that might take place. The purpose of a feasibility study is to help frame specific business alternatives so they can be studied in depth. During this process, the number of business alternatives is usually reduced to a more feasible solution. top
Needs Assessment - A Needs Assessment is an identification and exploration of the way things are and the way they should be. It is a process for identifying discrepancies in results and arranging them in priority order for resolution. Gaps are considered discrepancies between what should be and what are the current existing conditions. Needs assessment helps select the strategy a program might use.
Needs assessment is the generation of new ideas and alternative for dealing with needs. It provides an opportunity for job enrichment. It offers opportunities to deviate from their routine and revitalize themselves. When resources are scarce, collaboration in conducting a needs assessment can help identify similar personnel, facilities, equipment and funds in the organization. top
Requirements Documentation - Requirements documentation is prepared by one or more systems analysts with participation by representatives of the sponsoring user organization. The people who use this documentation often play different roles in the organization. There roles in the organization correspond to project roles, such as: management, team member, and end user. This document must provide sufficient information for the audience to use it. Therefore, you must determine the knowledge the audience has and what additional information they need in the documentation. top
