Planning: Systems Analysis & Design

This document discusses the initial planning steps for a systems analysis and design project. It outlines the expected outcomes of explaining project planning steps, describing feasibility factors, and understanding project benefits and costs. It then provides details on key planning aspects like the system request, project approval, and conducting a feasibility analysis to evaluate if the project is economically, technically, operationally, and legally feasible before proceeding further.

Project initiation

A project begins when the business needs arise


(system request).
Business needs determine the system’s
functionality.
Therefore the project’s business value must be
cleared
System Request

System request is a form or document made by


organization describing reasons for project and
expected outcome.
Example:
A marketing department request an online
feedback system from their customer. They shall
get faster response from their customer about
their product.
Project Approval

System request must be reviewed by approval


committee before the project can kick off.
All benefits and value of the proposed project
shall be evaluated by the committee.
If the project is approved then further feasibility
analysis must be carried out.
Feasibility Analysis

Definition
A thorough study must be carried out to identify
whether the project will benefit or not, such questions
must be raised:
Is this project really worth doing?
Can we do this project?
Will the organization accept the project?
How much return can we get?
Do we have enough resources?
Evaluate Feasibility Analysis

Feasibility analysis can be evaluated based on factors


such as :
• Economic
• Technical
• Operational
• Scheduling
• Legal
• Political
Economic Feasibility

It is a procedure to analyze the financial cost and


benefits related to project development.
Also known as cost-benefit analysis
This is continuation evaluating process after each SDLC
phases. The committee shall decide whether to
continue, find alternative or halt the project.
Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility is a process of evaluating the


development organization’s ability to construct a
proposed project.
Consequences if fail to assess on technical feasibility
can be as follows:
Inaccurate project cost estimation
Inaccurate project duration estimation
Fail to integrate the new system with existing software,
platform , hardware or procedures.
Operational Feasibility

Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a


proposed system solves the problems.
What are advantages can be identified during scope
definition and how it satisfies the requirements
identified.
Scheduling Feasibility

Schedule feasibility is a measure of how reasonable the


project timetable is.
It is probability of a project to be accomplished within
its scheduled time limits. If a project has a high
probability to be completed on-time, then its schedule
feasibility is appraised as high.
Legal Feasibility

Analyse on legal and ethical implications of the project.


Any project undertaken will meet all legal and ethical
requirements before the project is start.
Political Feasibility

Political feasibility analysis is used to predict the


probable outcome of a proposed solution to a policy
problem through examining the resources involved in
all stages of the policy-making development.
