HIGH
LEVEL APPROACH
The
effort will be organized, planned, tracked, and
managed to facilitate direct input correlation, and
traceability to the specific FSR sections (final
deliverable).
•
•This
straight approach will create a simple traceability
matrix, connecting the business requirements, to
functional specifications, design solutions, drawings,
case studies, analysis, alternative solutions,
Interface Requirement Documents, Configuration Items,
Critical Business Functions, processes, block
diagrams, procurement plans, audit, inventory, and the
FSR documentation.
PURPOSE
The
feasibility study represents the first opportunity
for agency management to assess the full
implications of a proposed information technology
project.
The
purposes of the feasibility study are to:
1.
Determine whether there is a business case for a proposed
project, i.e., whether the expenditure of public resources on
the project is justified in terms of the project's:
2.
Being responsive to a clearly-defined, program-related
problem or opportunity;
3. Being the best of the possible alternatives;
4. Being within the technical and managerial capabilities of
the agency;
5. Having benefits over the life of the application that
exceed development and operations costs. Project benefits
typically include reduced program costs, avoidance of future
program cost increases, increased program revenues, or
provision of program services that can be provided only
through the use of information technology.
6.
Provide a means for achieving agreement between agency
executive management, program management, and project
management as to:
the nature, benefits, schedule, and costs of a proposed
project; and
their respective management responsibilities over the course
of the project.
7.
Provide executive branch control agencies and the
Legislature with sufficient information to assess the merits
of the proposed project and determine the nature and extent
of project oversight requirements.
