All things are created twice; first mentally; then physically. The key to creativity is to begin with the end in mind, with a vision and a blue print of the desired result.Stephen Covey, author, 1932–2012
For any proposed IT investment, it is strongly recommended to carry out an in-depth feasibility study of the system to be implemented. The feasibility study is the opportunity to specify the functional requirements and objectives to be achieved. The feasibility study is also an opportunity for all internal and external stakeholders to understand the ITS and its long-term potential. The study must also define the milestones and expected outcomes at each stage of the end of implementation. It will also facilitate the planning and management of the implementation process, within the specified budget constraints and deadlines.
The feasibility report should include the following components:
The feasibility study should enable the leaders/owners of the BRT agency to make a sound business decision on whether to proceed with the IT investment, with a reasonable understanding of the system capacity, anticipated benefits, investment and lifecycle costs, and implementation risks. It should provide the implementers with sufficient guidance to proceed to detailed design.
