1.0 General Information
NOTE TO AUTHOR: Highlighted, italicized text throughout this template is provided solely as background information to assist you in creating this document. Please delete all such text, as well as the instructions in each section, prior to submitting this document. ONLY YOUR PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION SHOULD APPEAR IN THE FINAL VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT. The Feasibility Study is used to provide an analysis of the objectives, requirements, and system concepts of the proposed system, including justification, schedule, and end products. During this analysis, the objectives of the system are defined based on the needed functions described previously. Included in these system objectives are the high-level functional and performance objectives and any assumptions and constraints. When the system objectives have been identified, the various alternatives for satisfying those objectives are determined. For each alternative, the costs in time and resources are estimated. A determination is then made as to the most feasible development alternative.
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Purpose
Describe the purpose of the Feasibility Study.
1.2
Scope
Describe the scope of the Feasibility Study as it relates to the project.
