feasibiliteettitutkimusten

Feasibility studies, or feasibilitytietutkimukset in Finnish, are crucial analyses conducted to determine the practicability of a proposed project or plan. They aim to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of a potential venture, the opportunities and threats present in the environment, the resources required, and ultimately, the prospects for success. The primary goal is to provide decision-makers with the information needed to make an informed choice about whether to proceed with the project.

These studies typically encompass several key areas. Technical feasibility assesses whether the necessary technology exists and if it can be implemented effectively. Economic feasibility evaluates the financial viability, including costs, revenues, and potential return on investment. Legal feasibility examines any legal or regulatory constraints that might impact the project. Operational feasibility considers whether the organization has the capacity and resources to operate the project once it is completed. Finally, schedule feasibility determines if the project can be completed within a realistic timeframe.

The findings of a feasibility study help to identify potential problems early on, allowing for adjustments or even the abandonment of a project before significant resources are committed. They serve as a foundation for more detailed planning and are an essential step in risk management for any new undertaking.
