Feasibility study

assessment of the practicality of a proposed project or system, aiming to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats

A feasibility study looks at how easy (or difficult) it will be to complete a project or system. In the simplest terms, feasibility is based on two things: the cost of a project, and the value the project might bring.

Feasibility studies try to answer these questions:[1]

  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of this proposed project?
  • What opportunities and threats exist?
  • What resources will be needed to complete this project?
  • How likely is it that this project will succeed?
