AI 1.3 Feasibility Study and Formulation of Alternative Courses of Action
Control Objective:
Develop a feasibility study that examines the possibility of implementing the requirements. It should identify alternative courses of action for software, hardware, services and skills that meet established business functional and technical requirements, and evaluate the technological and economic feasibility (potential cost and benefit analysis) of each of the identified courses of action in the context of the IT-enabled investment program. There may be several iterations in developing the feasibility study, as the effect of factors such as changes to business processes, technology and skills are assessed. Business management, supported by the IT function, should assess the feasibility and alternative courses of action and make a recommendation to the business sponsor.
