Introduction

The term business case refers to the reasons,

or justification, for a proposal

A strong business case suggests that the

company should pursue the alternative,

above other options, because it would be in

the firm’s best interest to do so

Systems development typically starts with a

systems request, followed by a preliminary

investigation, which includes a feasibility

study

The Role of the IT Department in Project

Evaluation

– Management leadership and information

technology are linked closely, and remarkable

changes have occurred in both areas

– Today, systems development is much more

team oriented

– Although team-oriented development is the

norm, some companies see the role of the IT

department as a gatekeeper

The Future

– If you could look into the future, here is

what you might see: new industries,

products, and services emerging from

amazing advances in information

technology, customers who expect world-

class IT support, a surge in Internet-based

commerce, and a global business

environment that is dynamic and incredibly

challenging

Project Management

– If the project is approved, it can be planned,

scheduled, monitored and controlled, and

reported upon

– Individual analysts or IT staff members often

handle small projects, but companies usually

designate a project manager to coordinate

the overall effort for complex projects

Figure 2-12

Evaluation of Systems Requests

Systems review committee or a computer

resources committee evaluate systems

requests

Systems Requests Forms

– A properly designed form streamlines the

request process and ensures consistency

– Occasionally a situation will arise that

requires an immediate response

Figure 2-13

Page 18: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Evaluation of Systems Requests

Systems Review Committees

– Most large companies use a systems review

committee to evaluate systems requests

– Many smaller companies rely on one person

to evaluate system requests instead of a

committee

– The goal is to evaluate the requests and set

priorities

18

Page 19: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Overview of Feasibility

A systems request must pass several tests,

called a feasibility study, to see whether it is

worthwhile to proceed further

Operational Feasibility

– Operational feasibility means that a proposed

system will be used effectively after it has

been developed

– Depends on several vital issues

Figure 2-14

19

Page 20: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Overview of Feasibility

Technical Feasibility

– Technical feasibility refers to technical

resources needed to develop, purchase,

install, or operate the system

20

Page 21: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Overview of Feasibility

Economic Feasibility

– Total cost of ownership (TCO)

– Tangible benefits

– Intangible benefits

Schedule Feasibility

For more information about

TCO visit

the TCO link. 21

Page 22: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Evaluating Feasibility

The first step in evaluating feasibility is to

identify and weed out systems requests that

are not feasible

Even if the request is feasible, it might not be

necessary

Feasibility analysis is an ongoing task that

must be performed throughout the systems

development process

22

Page 23: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Setting Priorities

Factors that Affect Priority

– Will the proposed system reduce costs?

Where? When? How? How much?

– Will the system increase revenue for the

company? Where? When? How? How

much?

23

Page 24: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Setting Priorities

Factors that Affect Priority

– Will the systems project result in more

information or produce better results? How?

Are the results measurable?

– Will the system serve customers better?

– Will the system serve the organization

better?

24

Page 25: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Setting Priorities

Factors that Affect Priority

– Can the project be implemented in a reasonable time period? How long will the results last?

– Are the necessary financial, human, and technical resources available?

– Whenever possible, the analyst should evaluate a proposed project based on tangible costs and benefits that represent actual (or approximate) dollar values

25

Page 26: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Setting Priorities

Discretionary and Nondiscretionary Projects

– Projects where management has a choice in

implementing them are called discretionary

projects

– Projects where no choice exists are called

nondiscretionary projects

Preliminary Investigation Overview

Preliminary investigation

Interaction with Managers and Users

– Let people know about the investigation and

explain your role

– Employee attitudes and reactions are important

and must be considered

– Be careful in your use of the word problem

– Question users about additional capability they

would like to have

Figure 2-15 27

Page 28: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Preliminary Investigation Overview

Planning the Preliminary Investigation

– During a preliminary investigation, a

systems analyst typically follows a series of

steps

– The exact procedure depends on the nature

of the request, the size of the project, and the

degree of urgency

Figure 2-16 Figure 2-17

Page 29: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Preliminary Investigation Overview

Step 1: Understand the Problem or

Opportunity

– A popular technique for investigating causes

and effects is called a fishbone diagram, or

Ishikawa diagram

– Pareto chart

Step 2: Define the Project Scope and

Constraints

– Project scope

– Project creep

– Constraint

Page 31: Explain the concept of a business case and how a business ...€¦ · Conduct a SWOT analysis and describe the four factors involved 1 . Chapter Objectives Explain the purpose of

Preliminary Investigation Overview

Step 2: Define the Project Scope and

Constraints

– Present versus future

– Internal versus external

– Mandatory versus desirable

– Regardless of the type, all constraints should

be identified as early as possible to avoid

future problems and surprises

Preliminary Investigation Overview

Step 3: Perform Fact-Finding

– Fact-finding involves various techniques

– Depending on what information is needed to

investigate the systems request, fact-finding

might consume several hours, days, or weeks

– Analyze Organization Charts

• Obtain organization charts to understand how the

department functions and identify individuals

you might want to interview

Step 4: Analyze Project Usability, Cost,

Benefit, and Schedule Data

– Before you can evaluate feasibility, you must

analyze this data carefully

– What information must you obtain, and how

will you gather and analyze the information?

– What sources of information will you use,

and what difficulties will you encounter in

obtaining information?
