Feasibility study of department portal system

A feasibility analysis is conducted to decide if the solution considered to meet the

criteria is feasible and workable in the department portal system.

During the feasibility study, information such as resource availability, cost estimates for
software production, advantages of the software to the enterprise after its development,
and cost to be expended on its maintenance is determined.

The feasibility study aims to ascertain why developing software is appealing to users,
adaptable to change, and compliant with applicable requirements.

It delves into technical aspects of the project and product, such as compatibility,
maintainability, efficiency, and integration capabilities.

Technical feasibility
Technical feasibility evaluates the available infrastructure (such as hardware and
software) and technologies needed to meet the consumer needs of software under time
and budget constraints.

The product development team determines whether current tools and technology should
be modified or applied to the program to fulfill the identified users’ needs.

The following are the activities often performed by technical feasibility.

• Examines the technological expertise and talents of members of the software

development team.

• Determines whether the application infrastructure is reliable and well-established.

• Ensures that the technology selected for software creation has many customers who
can be contacted when issues emerge or required changes.

Operational Feasibility
The extent to which the required software completes a sequence of steps to address
market challenges and consumer requirements is measured by operational viability.

This Feasibility is based on human capital (the product development team) and entails
visualizing whether the software can work after it is built and be operational after it is
installed.
The following are the operations carried out by operational feasibility:

 Determines whether the issues outlined in the consumer specifications are a high
priority.
 Determines whether the software development team’s proposed approach is
suitable.
 Determines whether or not consumers can respond to new technologies.
 Determines whether the possible solutions suggested by the software
development team satisfy the company.
The study that determines the software’s capability, if it can generate financial profits for
the organization is Economic feasibility. It checks the overall cost incurred on
developing the software, including the anticipated cost of hardware and software,
expenses spent on performing feasibility studies, and many more.

Economic feasibility needs to consider the expenses made on purchasing, such as

hardware purchasing and required activities required to carry out software development.
It is also necessary to consider the benefits that can be achieved by developing the
software. Software is economically feasible when it focuses on the issues listed below.

• Expense incurred on software development for achieving long-term gains for an

organization.

• Expenses required conducting elicitation and requirements analysis

• Hardware and software cost, development team, and training cost.
