HOW TO WRITE A FEASIBILITY REPORT

When you are taking decision on how starts a project, management may
request a report detailing the chances of the project's success.

INTRODUCTON

Feasibility is the practicality of a project, how much it would cost possible

ramifications of the project and any legal requirements. Based on the
evidence the writer presents in the report, he or she also makes a
recommendation about the project, which management considers when
making their final decision. Though the subject may be complex, the report
must remain brief and nontechnical so that it can be understood by high-
level management. Include an introduction, a body (within which a variety
of sections are possible), a conclusion and a recommendation.

Projecting the future and explaining how you have come to a specified
conclusion may seem overwhelming and complex. Communicating
statistics, forecasts and solutions may require a great deal of research
aside from the compilation process. Do not allow the size of the report to
distract you. Keep in mind that a feasibility report is merely a series of
independent sections. Within each section, maintain your focus on sharp
communication skills for effectively relaying the results of your research.
Completing each section independently may simplify the process.

Summary

The executive summary of your feasibility report provides a concise

overview of the most essential information regarding the project.
 Clearly state the problem or opportunity that has been assessed in the
study typically, the key issue the proposed project seeks to address.
Mention any special issues that need to be brought to the stakeholders'
attention, such as public sensitivity, time constraints, risk management
and/or legal issues. Provide any previous approvals, decisions or
agreements applicable to the project. List options recommended for further
analysis.

Problem/Opportunity Definition

Provide a background on the situation by briefly discussing the problem,

need or opportunity that led to the report. Concisely describe the proposed
project and its major requirements. Elements of the description may
include client requirements, the nature of the problem, possible
opportunities and the main characteristics or features relevant to the
project being proposed. The purpose of this section is to concentrate on
what drives the project, so it should not include discussions of proposed
solutions.

Identification of Alternatives and Options

This section of the feasibility report should provide an analysis of whether

the plan provides the most appropriate path to see the project through to
the end successfully or, if not, offer choices on other methods to use.
Describe the options and explain how you narrowed the field of choices by
giving your logic and reasoning as to why these alternative plans should be
considered. Your guide in selecting these alternative plans will be the data
you've garnered and the research you've conducted. Further, offer a
comparison of the options and state what considerations disqualify other
options.
Recommendations for Further Analysis

Once you have drawn your conclusions, you'll make recommendations. This
section should include an analysis of the plan's likelihood of success, how
any identified risks should be mitigated and, if applicable, the projected
return on investment. Reiterate the most important conclusions that led to
the main recommendation, or final option. Typically, you may have to
recommend several options for further consideration based on the different
possibilities.

Abstract

Documents may be accessed by increasingly efficient retrieval of abstracts,

but information will not be transferred unless the abstracts are read. It is
suggested that the measurement of the readability of abstracts can provide
an assessment of one phase of an information system: the system/user
interface. Controlled reading levels for abstracts could result in more rapid
processing of abstracts and a wider use of the information system. It was
hypothesized that the use of readability principles in guidelines for
abstracting would result in abstracts of lower reading levels than the
source documents upon which they were based. Abstracts and their source
documents were selected randomly from the information system supported
by the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC); readability scores
were calculated using the Flesh Reading Ease formula. Comparisons among
reading levels were made using analysis of variance for correlated data and
Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test for post hoc
comparisons. Results indicated that the reading level of abstracts was
significantly higher than the reading level of source documents, but not
higher than the reading ability of the intended audience. It was concluded
that readability measurement provides one useful technique for the
evaluation of abstracts.

An Open Archival Information System (or OAIS) is an archive,

consisting of an organization of people and systems, that has accepted the
responsibility to preserve information and make it available for a
Designated Community.

The term OAIS also refers, by extension, to the ISO OAIS Reference Model
for an OAIS. This reference model is defined by recommendation of the
Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, this text is identical to
The CCSDS's purview is space agencies, but the OAIS model it developed
has proved useful to a wide variety of other organizations and institutions
with digital archiving needs.

The information being maintained has been deemed to need "long term
preservation", even if the OAIS itself is not permanent. "Long term" is long
enough to be concerned with the impacts of changing technologies,
including support for new media and data formats, or with a changing user
community. "Long term" may extend indefinitely. In this reference model
there is a particular focus on digital information, both as the primary forms
of information held and as supporting information for both digitally and
physically archived materials. Therefore, the model accommodates
information that is inherently non-digital (e.g., a physical sample), but the
modeling and preservation of such information is not addressed in detail.
As strictly a conceptual framework, the OAIS model does not require the
use of any particular computing platform, system environment, system
design paradigm, system development methodology, database
management system, database design paradigm, data definition language,
command language, system interface, user interface, technology, or media
for an archive to be compliant. Its aim is to set the standard for the
activities that are involved in preserving a digital archive rather than the
method for carrying out those activities.

What Is Difference Between Information System And Information

Technology?
Information technology is an unit of information system.
Information system consists of various factors like technology, psychology,
survey, etc.
Whereas Information Technology is combined of scientific

methods and technical process.

Information system provides a searcher with final processed information
but Information technology only gathers information which can be raw in
nature.
Information system and technology is a process where mostly technology
happens at first and after that system occurs at last with processed
information.

What Is Man Made Information System?

A man-made information system will be any collective circuit or system that
collects, processes, stores and maintains information for a particular use.
These information systems will be made up of hardware, software,
technology and people.
A common misconception revolved around information systems is that they
are made up entirely of computers and technology. However - people or
staff are equally as important to the system if it wants to operate correctly
and efficiently.

A good example of this would be something that is known as a

Management Information System or MIS for short. An MIS is a collection of
people, processes and resources that are used together in order to help
managers and senior members of staff to make effective decisions.

To give you an example in context, you could consider a school. The MIS
system of this school will operate to give the head teacher and members of
the school council the information they need to make effective decisions.

 Internal and external sections it will be made up of both internal and

external sections. Internal sections include the school register and the
school database. Whereas the external sections will include Government
statistics, local council statistics, parents and guardians of the children
attending the school

 What happens to this data?

Information from these sources is then collected, processed and stored by

the school secretary staff on computers using specially designed software
package. This is then presented to and manipulated by the senior members
of staff to help that make the decisions that will best benefit the school.
