The All Important Feasibility Study

The one and only reason for a feasibility study to be done on a business venture is to see just if money can be made with the deliverable under consideration. To do this in a constructive manner many different components need to be analyzed.

To begin with a feasibility study the project team must be working with an approved business venture that has the financial backing of the organization they are working for. Depending on the deliverable, size, color and presentation to the public may vary from region to region. These variables must be known before the study begins.

Once the variables of the deliverable are known, the feasibility study can begin. The first step is to know where the deliverable is in demand. This will help to pinpoint the main target audience. This group will be the focal point for a large number of questions. This will include will they purchase the deliverable, how often and for how much.

Once those things are known the feasibility study can then move onto the alternative target audience. Just like with anything in life, placing all of your eggs in one basket is just asking for failure. For this reason there should be at least one if not two alternative target audiences explored so their responses to the same set of questions of the target audience can be collected.

Included in the data being collocated should be a few questions on variables to the deliverable itself that are more than just a variation in color, size and how it is presented. The price is also an important variable. There have been instances where a 10% price reduction makes the deliverable more popular and worth a purchase increase to 20% or more of the target audience. This angle should also be explored.

Once all of the data is collected from the feasibility study it has to be analyzed. This is done by the project team to see just what the real results are on the profitability and demand for this new deliverable. Then the final report then submitted to the stake holders for their determination is the business venture should proceed with a good prospect of profitability for their organization.

Lean Methodology

The use of lean methodology has grown in the manufacturing sector since it was first implemented after World War II. As time has progressed, this methodology has been refined with the end result of creating more, faster and with less. The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it. This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
