A feasibility study evaluates the viability of a business initiative, project, or product before investment.
It considers technical, economic, legal, operational, and scheduling feasibility factors.
Technical feasibility assesses if technology and expertise are available for the project.
Economic feasibility determines if the project is financially viable.
Legal feasibility ensures compliance with laws and industry standards.
Operational feasibility evaluates internal resources and infrastructure support.
Scheduling feasibility assesses if the project can be completed within a timeframe.
Feasibility studies help avoid investing in unfeasible projects, align with organizational goals, and identify risks early.
Steps to conduct a feasibility study include defining the opportunity, market research, technical analysis, financial evaluation, risk assessment, and summarizing findings.
Overcoming stakeholder challenges involves data-driven decision-making, setting boundaries, building buy-in, maintaining transparency, and leveraging stakeholder expertise.
