Practical 1: Identify

Project Scope & Objective

Case Study Example: Student Information
Management System (SIMS)
❑ Student Information Management System (SIMS) provides an interface for saving,
retrieval, generating reports and maintenance of student information.
❑ SIMS can be used by any educational institutes to maintain the records of students
and for generating useful information reports.
❑ The Student Information Management system deals with all kinds of student details,
academic related reports, college details, course details, curriculum, batch details,
placement details and other resource related details too.
❑ SIMS tracks all the records of a student from day one to the end of the course, which
can be used for all reporting purposes.
❑ SIMS tracks and saves attendance record, student academic progress in all the
semester, years. This system saves curriculum details, project or any other
assignment details, final exam results.
❑ This system facilitates faculties to save their personal information, batch execution
details.
❑ With the help of SIMS Student as well as faculty can retrieve student details in all
aspects.
❑ The various academic notifications to the staff and students updated by the college
administration.
❑ This system also facilitates us to explore all the activities happening in the institution,
Different reports and Queries can be generated based on vast options related to
students, batch, course, faculty, exams, semesters, certification and even for the entire
college.
❑ SIMS provides students and faculty with functionality like login details for
authentication, profile view for personal details, finance details about fees &
Academic Details for student education in this system.

 PRACTICAL 3: Do the
feasibility study and check
for the various feasibility
aspects.
SOLUTIONS
What is a Feasibility Study?
A feasibility study is a comprehensive evaluation of a proposed project that evaluates all
factors critical to its success to assess its likelihood of success. Business success can be
defined primarily in terms of ROI, which is the number of profits that will be generated by
the project.
The feasibility study results can also be used to create a realistic project plan and budget.
Without a feasibility study, it cannot be easy to know whether a proposed project is worth
pursuing.

Types of Feasibility Study

A feasibility analysis evaluates the project’s potential for success; therefore, perceived
objectivity is an essential factor in the credibility of the study for potential investors and
lending institutions. There are five types of feasibility study—separate areas that a feasibility
study examines, described below.

1. Technical Feasibility
This assessment focuses on the technical resources available to the organization. It helps
organizations determine whether the technical resources meet capacity and whether the
technical team can convert the ideas into working systems. Technical feasibility also involves
the evaluation of the hardware, software, and other technical requirements of the proposed
system. As an exaggerated example, an organization wouldn’t want to try to put Star Trek’s
transporters in their building—currently, this project is not technically feasible.

2. Economic Feasibility
This assessment typically involves a cost/benefits analysis of the project, helping organizations
determine the viability, cost, and benefits associated with a project before financial resources are
allocated.

3. Legal Feasibility
This assessment investigates whether any aspect of the proposed project conflicts with legal
requirements like zoning laws, data protection acts or social media laws. Let’s say an
organization wants to construct a new office building in a specific location. A feasibility study
might reveal the organization’s ideal location isn’t zoned for that type of business. That
organization has just saved considerable time and effort by learning that their project was
not feasible right from the beginning.

4. Operational Feasibility
This assessment involves undertaking a study to analyze and determine whether—and how
well—the organization’s needs can be met by completing the project. Operational feasibility
studies also examine how a project plan satisfies the requirements identified in the
requirements analysis phase of system development.

5. Scheduling Feasibility
This assessment is the most important for project success; after all, a project will fail if not
completed on time. In scheduling feasibility, an organization estimates how much time the
project will take to complete.

Importance of Feasibility Study

➢ Improves project teams’ focus
➢ Identifies new opportunities
➢ Provides valuable information for a “go/no-go” decision
➢ Narrows the business alternatives
➢ Identifies a valid reason to undertake the project
➢ Enhances the success rate by evaluating multiple parameters
 ➢ Aids decision-making on the project
➢ Identifies reasons not to proceed
