You are hired to develop a feasibility report as the first phase of the SDLC cycle including the recommendations on economic, operational, technical aspects of the on-going project

Answer 1

Feasibility Report

The system is expected to solve the employees' data maintenance issues; who are using Microsoft access data software and Microsoft Excel. The system will integrate the organization's data to ensure easy access and data management in all the company’s branches. The system developer will develop it in modular design based divisions.

Economic Feasibility

System development is not cheap; it required funds to undertake the project. The process of incorporating a new system to match the organization's operations is complex. XYZ Company will have to buy an off-shelf system or hire an external system developer. This is the most effective way to get the system because XYZ is a small company. Despite the cost, the company will benefit because it will ensure easy data sharing, improve the ability to make decisions, and enable communication. This, in return, improves productivity.

Operational Feasibility

This explains how the proposed system will solve the system issues that XYZ is experiencing. With the opening of the new branches, the centralized access to the system will help the ease access and analysis of the data hence proper evaluation of the organization's performance. Future data retrieval is also easy with a centralized system.

Technical Feasibility

XYZ is a small but growing organization; it, therefore, needs a system that can be easily managed and accessed. A centralized system will help the organization achieve this. The organization will need to use an external system developer and maintenance expert. They could also take an off-the-shelf system; if this option is taken, the technician must undertake critical analysis of the system to ensure it meets the company’s requirements and works appropriately.
