Explanation of Solution

Political feasibility:

  • The feasibility factor refers to the strengths and weaknesses of an ongoing project.
  • Political feasibility provides a view of the proposed system by the stakeholders present in an organization.
  • Political ramification affects the information distribution, power distribution, and the construction of information system.
  • The stakeholders do not have any right to stop or make any changes in the project.

  • Scenario One: Assume you are put in charge of launching a new website for a local nonprofit organization. What costs would you need to account for? Make a list of expected costs and benefits for the project. You don’t need to list values, just sources of expense. Consider both one-time and recurring costs. Consider the situation you addressed in the previous question. Create numeric cost estimates for each of the costs you listed. Calculate the net present value and return on investment. Include a break-even analysis. Assume a 10 percent discount rate and a five-year time horizon. Scenario Two: Assuming monetary benefits of an information system at $85,000 per year, one-time costs of $75,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 12 percent, and a five-year time horizon, calculate the net present value of these costs and benefits of an information system. Also calculate the overall return on investment of the project and then present a break-even analysis. At what…
    Given the following information for a one year project, address the following queries:  Planned Value PV = $2300  Earned Value EV  = $2000  Actual cost AC     = $2500  Budget at completion BAC = $12000 Formulas are given below. Hint: Chapter 7, Page 312 to 316 of your ref book (IT Project Management by kathy) What is the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index CPI and schedule performance index SPI for the project. How is the project doing? Is it ahead of schedule or behind the schedule? Is it under budget or over budget? Use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion EAC for the project. Is the project performance better or worse than planned? Use the SPI to identify how long it will take to finish. Draw the earned value chart for this project. Sample is given below.
    Briefly describe the various types of project feasibility that must be evaluated.
