4. What is a Feasibility Report?
• It is the results of a feasibility study.
• Feasibility study is carried out in order to assess the viability of a
new project
• It is primary and most important thing in development of a
project

Why is a Feasibility Report important?
• Before investing time and money into a project, one
needs to know how successful the project will be
before investing. It is important to understand the
input costs, the amount of research that will be
needed to be done, or even the marketability of a
project.
• The purpose of a feasibility report is to provide
information and analysis on whether or not one
should pursue a certain course of action.

Evaluation
• the “bulk” of the report. The author must evaluate the options
using the criteria he/she created.
• May include graphs, charts, etc. to show that the options were
studied, and have come up with statistics that back up the
reasons as to why the alternative beats the competition.

• Discusses the result of the comparisons of the alternatives
• This is where the final conclusion is stated as a result of a keen
and careful evaluation
• The author will need to state the conclusion he/she came up
with
