toteuttavuus

Toteuttavuus is a Finnish term that translates literally to “implementability” or “feasibility” in English. It refers to the practicality and viability of carrying out a planned project, policy, or concept within given constraints such as resources, time, technology, and organizational capacity. The concept is used widely in Finnish public administration, engineering, and software development to assess whether a proposed solution can be realistically achieved and maintained.

In public policy, toteuttavuus assessments evaluate the likelihood of successful execution, taking into account legal frameworks, budgetary limits, and stakeholder cooperation. In engineering, the term often appears in feasibility studies that examine the technical and economic aspects of design proposals. In software development, toteuttavuus is analogous to the concept of “feasibility analysis” or “implementability,” guiding decision makers on whether a new feature or system can be developed, deployed, and supported given current resources and expertise.

Typical criteria considered in toteuttavuus analyses include cost, technical risk, compliance with regulations, supply chain availability, and organizational readiness. The outcome is usually a recommendation or a set of mitigation strategies that help project owners decide whether to proceed, modify the scope, or abandon a plan. By providing a structured approach to evaluate feasibility, toteuttavuus aims to reduce project overruns, failures, and wasted resources.
