Typically, organisations will mandate that a feasibility study be performed before work is authorised. Successful project managers conduct feasibility studies to determine if the project can realistically produce a viable outcome by supplying the below:
- Development and implementation of robust schedules, budgets and cost control systems
- Cash-flow analysis and maximising utilisation of capital
- Resource analysis
- Risk identification and mitigation strategies
- Third party estimate review
- Supply Chain review (people, processes, procedures)
- Cold eye review and negotiation point for critical or large expenditure supply
- Constructability Reviews
- Training and succession planning with ongoing mentoring
