All of mankind’s greatest accomplishments—from building the
great pyramids to discovering a cure for polio to putting a man
on the moon—began as a project.
What is Project?
• A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique
product, service, or result
• The major goal of a project is to satisfy a customer’s need.
The major characteristics of a project are as follows:
 An established objective.
 A defined life span with a beginning and an end.
 Usually, the involvement of several departments and professionals.
 Typically, doing something that has never been done before.
 Specific time, cost, and performance requirements.
What a Project is not?
• Projects should not be confused with everyday work.
• A project is not routine, repetitive work!
• Ordinary daily work typically requires doing the same or similar work
over and over, while a project is done only once
Project versus Program
• Project is a unique part of the Program
• A program is a group of related projects designed to accomplish a
common goal over an extended period of time.
• Each project within a program has a project manager.
• Program management is the process of managing a group of ongoing,
interdependent, related projects in a coordinated way to achieve strategic
objectives.
Why Project Management is Important?
• Compression of the Project Life Cycle
• One of the most significant driving forces behind the demand for project
management is the shortening of the product life cycle.
• Knowledge Explosion
• The growth in new knowledge has increased the complexity of projects
because projects encompass the latest advances.
Understanding A Feasibility Study
• Project management is the process of planning, organizing, and
managing resources to bring about the successful completion of
specific project goals and objectives.
• A feasibility study is a preliminary exploration of a proposed project or
undertaking to determine its merits and viability
Types of Feasibility Study
• Technical Feasibility
• This assessment focuses on the technical resources available to the
organization.
• Economic Feasibility
• This assessment typically involves a cost/ benefits analysis of the project,
helping organizations determine the viability, cost, and benefits associated
with a project before financial resources are allocated.
• Legal Feasibility
• This assessment investigates whether any aspect of the proposed project
conflicts with legal requirements like zoning laws, data protection acts or
social media laws.
Types of Feasibility Study
• Operational Feasibility
• This assessment involves undertaking a study to analyze and determine
whether—and how well—the organization’s needs can be met by completing
the project.
• Scheduling Feasibility
• In scheduling feasibility, an organization estimates how much time the project
will take to complete.
Importance of Feasibility Study
• The importance of a feasibility study is based on organizational desire
to “get it right” before committing resources, time, or budget. A
feasibility study might uncover new ideas that could completely
change a project’s scope.
• Conducting a feasibility study is always beneficial to the project as it
gives you and other stakeholders a clear picture of the proposed
project.
CRITERIA FOR A FEASIBILITY
STUDY
• Do a preliminary analysis
• Preliminary analysis on Gender Sensitivity and Social Acceptability
• To ensure that the data is solid, determine and ask queries about it
• To ensure if the project is technically feasible
• Create an organizational, operational, or business plan. This includes
identifying how much labor is required, what costs, and how long.
• To sustain the project’s economic viability (economically viable)
• You will need to identify and address any vulnerabilities or obstacles.
• To assess if the project is environmentally friendly and safe
