The Feasibility tudy is used to provide an analysis of the ob!ectives, re"uirements, and system conceptsof the proposed system, including !ustification, schedule, and end products. #uring this analysis, theob!ectives of the system are defined based on the needed functions described previously. $ncluded inthese system ob!ectives are the high%level functional and performance ob!ectives and any assumptionsand constraints. &hen the system ob!ectives have been identified, the various alternatives for satisfyingthose ob!ectives are determined. For each alternative, the costs in time and resources are estimated. 'determination is then made as to the most feasible development alternative.
