The Process of Initiating and Planning IS Development Projects (Cont.)
The key activity of project initiation is the development of the project charter. A short document that is prepared for both internal
and external stakeholders المصلحة أصحاب Provides a high-level overview of the project Useful communication tool that helps to assure that
the organizations and other stakeholders understand the initiation of a project
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 9Chapter 5
The Process of Initiating and Planning IS Development Projects (Cont.)
A project charter typically contains:( المشروع (عقد
Project title and date of authorization Project manager name and contact information Customer name and contact information Projected start and completion dates Key stakeholders, project role, and responsibilities Project objectives and description Key assumptions or approach Signature section for key stakeholders.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 17Chapter 5
Assessing Project Feasibility (Cont.) Economic feasibility: a process of
identifying the financial benefits and costs associated with a development projectOften referred to as a cost-benefit analysisProject is reviewed after each SDLC phase in
order to decide whether to continue, redirect, or kill a project
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 18Chapter 5
Determining Project Benefits
Tangible benefits refer to items that can be measured in dollars and with certainty.
Examples include: reduced personnel expenses, lower transaction costs, or higher profit margins.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 19Chapter 5
Determining Project Benefits (Cont.) Most tangible benefits will fit within the following
categories: Cost reduction and avoidance Error reduction Increased flexibility Increased speed of activity Improvement of management planning and control Opening new markets and increasing sales
opportunities
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 20Chapter 5
Determining Project Benefits (Cont.) Intangible benefits are benefits derived from
the creation of an information system that cannot be easily measured in dollars or with certainty. May have direct organizational benefits, such as the
improvement of employee morale معنويات. May have broader societal implications, such as the
resource consumption.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 21Chapter 5
Determining Project Costs
Tangible cost: a cost associated with an information system that can be measured in dollars and with certainty
IS development tangible costs include:Hardware costs,Labor costs, orOperational costs including employee training
and building renovations التجديدات.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 22Chapter 5
Determining Project Costs (Cont.)
Intangible cost: a cost associated with an information system that cannot be easily measured in terms of dollars or with certainty
Intangible costs can include:Loss of customer goodwill,Employee morale, orOperational inefficiency.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 23Chapter 5
Determining Project Costs (Cont.)
One-time cost: a cost associated with project start-up and development or system start-up
These costs encompassتشمل activities such as: Systems development, New hardware and software purchases, User training, Site preparation, and Data or system conversion.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 24Chapter 5
Determining Project Costs (Cont.)
Recurring cost : a cost resulting from the ongoing evolution(تطور) and use of a system
Examples of these costs include: Application software maintenance, Incremental data storage expenses, Incremental اإلضافية communications, New software and hardware leases اإليجار and ,عقود Supplies and other expenses (i.e. paper, forms, data
center personnel).
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 25Chapter 5
Determining Project Costs (Cont.) Both one-time and recurring costs can
consist of items that are fixed or variable in nature.
Fixed costs are billed or incurred at a regular interval and usually at a fixed rate.
Variable متغير costs are items that vary in relation to usage.

The Time Value of Money
Time value of money (TVM): the concept that money available today is worth more than the same amount tomorrow

Assessing Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility: a process of assessing the development organization’s ability to construct a proposed system
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 39Chapter 5
Assessing Technical Feasibility
The potential consequences of not assessing and managing risks can include the following: Failure to attain expected benefits from the project, Inaccurate project cost estimates, Inaccurate project duration estimates, Failure to achieve adequate(مالئم) system
performance levels, and Failure to adequately integrate the new system with
existing hardware, software, or organizational procedures.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 40Chapter 5
Project Risk Factors Project size
Team size, organizational departments, project duration, programming effort
Project structure New vs.(مقابل) renovated (تجديده)system, resulting
organizational changes, management commitment(إلتزام), user perceptions(تصورات)
Development group Familiarity ( والتناسق with platform, software, development(األلفة
method, application area(مجال), development of similar(مماثلة) systems
User group Familiarity with IS development process, application area, use
of similar systems
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 41Chapter 5
Assessing Technical Feasibility (Cont.) Risk can be managed on a project by:
Changing the project plan to avoid risky factors.Assigning(تكليف) project team members to carefully
manage the risky aspectsSetting up monitoring methods to determine
whether or not potential risk is, in fact, materializing. محتمل خطر هناك كان إذا ما لتحديد الرصد طرق إنشاءال ام ،
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 42Chapter 5
Assessing Technical Feasibility (Cont.) The four primary factors associated with the
amount of technical risk on a given project are: Project size, Project structure, The development group’s experience with the
application and technology area, and The user group’s experience with systems
development projects and the application area.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 43Chapter 5
Assessing Technical Feasibility (Cont.) Four general rules emerged as technical
risk assessments:Larger projects are riskier than smaller projects.A system in which the requirements are easily
obtained and highly structured will be less risky than one in which requirements are messy, ill structured, ill defined, or subject to the judgment(حكم) of an individual.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 44Chapter 5
Assessing Technical Feasibility (Cont.)
The development of a system employing commonly used or standard technology will be less risky than one employing novel or nonstandard technology.
A project is less risky when the user group is familiar (دراية)with the systems development process and application area than if unfamiliar.

Assessing Other Feasibility Concerns Operational
Does the proposed system solve problems or take advantage of opportunities?
Scheduling Can the project time frame and completion dates
meet organizational deadlines? Legal and Contractual
What are legal and contractual ramifications(التداعيات) of the proposed system development project?
Political How do key stakeholders view the proposed system?
