CASE STUDY PART

As an analyst working on the development of the new system, it is your role to ensure that the project is feasible. Some of the reasons that projects fail are: incomplete requirements, lack of executive support, lack of technical support, poor project planning and lack of required resources. At this stage, you decide to do an initial project feasibility analysis, to see whether Good Health Clinic should continue with its plan for the new information system.

ACTIVITY

1. What are the risks associated with this project? Create a list of up to 10 risks and their likelihood of happening (see Study Guide topic 4, activity 4.6 for an example of how this should be set out).

2. Define the anticipated benefits of the new system. This should include both tangible and intangible benefits. Wherever possible, translate the intangible benefits into anticipated tangible benefits.

3. Define the expected costs of the new system. Look at the examples given in workshop activities for some examples of expense categories. It is ok to give estimates at this point.

4. Use two or more cost-benefit analysis techniques to decide whether to proceed with the project.

5. Identify any assumptions and interpretations that you are making with respect to the information that you have been given, that you are estimating, and that you are projecting (into the future).

6. Create a new section in Part A of your report: Risk and Cost Benefit Analysis. Insert your work from above, and give a clear indication as to whether it is feasible to continue with the project.

7. Does the proposed system present a strong business case? Why or why not? Include a recommendation as to whether the system should proceed, as the final part of your preliminary report. The Preliminary Investigation part of your Report can now be submitted.
