feasibilitetsstudier

Feasibilitetsstudier, or feasibility studies, are analytical methods used to determine the practicality of a proposed project or system. The primary goal of a feasibility study is to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of a proposed venture, opportunities and threats present in the environment, the resources required to carry it out, and ultimately, the prospects for success.

These studies are typically conducted to assess a project's viability before significant resources are committed. They help decision-makers understand whether the project is worth pursuing, identify potential roadblocks, and estimate the resources needed. A comprehensive feasibility study often examines several key areas, including technical feasibility, economic feasibility, legal feasibility, operational feasibility, and scheduling feasibility.

Technical feasibility assesses whether the necessary technology exists and is available, and if the organization has the technical expertise to complete the project. Economic feasibility evaluates the project's financial viability, considering costs, benefits, and return on investment. Legal feasibility examines any legal or regulatory requirements that might affect the project. Operational feasibility considers how well the proposed system will work within the existing organization and its environment. Scheduling feasibility determines if the project can be completed within a reasonable timeframe.

The outcome of a feasibility study is usually a report that outlines the findings and provides a recommendation on whether to proceed with the project, modify it, or abandon it altogether. This systematic approach helps mitigate risks and ensures that resources are allocated to projects with the highest probability of success.
