Feasibility analyses, when conducted correctly, save enterprises time, money, and resources by determining if a solution is both practical and capable of being achieved within certain budget and schedule requirements. These studies include the following six elements: project scope, current analysis, requirements, approach, evaluation, and review. One extremely important component of this study is the current analysis. The current analysis defines the current system using strengths and weaknesses, and determines whether the current system is working correctly, needs minor modifications, or should be completely upgraded or replaced. This is essential when deciding to proceed with a project or not, as it may be cheaper and easier to modify a current system rather than introduce an entirely new one. This can often be lost among project managers and IT personnel who are exploring new projects, as it is easy to lose sight of the present as you look to the future. Therefore, it is important for those handling projects to conduct quality feasibility studies to ensure the enterprise is optimizing its time and resources when analyzing projects.
