Feasibility Study Process

Overview

A comprehensive feasibility study is crucial for evaluating the potential success of a project before significant resources are committed. The Feasibility Study Process involves systematically assessing various aspects of a project to determine its viability and inform decision-making. This structured approach helps in identifying potential risks, resource requirements, and expected outcomes, ensuring that projects are well-planned and positioned for success.

Feasibility Study Process
