The Content of the Feasibility Study - Article Example

Peer Assessment of Assignment Name: Lecturer: Course: Date: Peer Assessment of Assignment Feasibility study The content of the feasibility study is coherent and easy to interpret despite the complexity of the outline. The simple and concise statement also promotes clarity. The non-verbal information regarding the project, which has been divided into three different prototypes that present different types of functionality, has been clearly illustrated in a non-verbal cue -- such as the diagram. The diagram has a logical flow of the different functionalities. However, no relevant examples are used to support the understanding of learning and competencies. Despite the sufficiently demonstrated competency in terms of interpreting data for the feasibility study, the article lacks in depth description and examples. The content is well-organized and has limited grammatical and spelling errors. The author also demonstrated effective use of clarity and quotation. Additionally, all components are evident and can be identified easily. To ensure this, the article divides the project into three different prototypes that present a range of functionality. The three prototypes are listed as Low-Scale NMS, Medium Scale NMS and High Scale NMS (Tamsoft 2014). An effective description of the three prototypes afterwards follows. The article discusses the individual prototypes, which appears to be of originality and quality in design and content. The Low Scale NMS are cohesively discussed, beginning with the technical viewpoint, which is effectively described with sufficient data from TamTco. For instance, it is stated that the software requirement should remain as stated, with only the support of an Internet browser since it is a web-based application, as well as since the interface has been created at TamSoft for TamTco to use (Tamsoft 2014). Non-technical dimensions are also discussed more comprehensively; where the article demonstrates that the cost of building the low-scale prototype would be $10,000. A rationale for the cost estimation is also provided based on the modules created, in addition to the level of effort used in constructing each module. Other non-technical elements clearly discussed include legal feasibility operational feasibility and schedule feasibility. The article also effectively describes Medium Scale NMS, supported with evidence from the company. A detailed analysis of the technical elements, non-technical elements is then provided. At this stage, synthesis of data with examples from the company is effective. Additionally, data analysis is comprehensive. However, while there is accurate description of non-technical economic feasibility, the description of the technical, legal feasibility and resource feasibility is accurate, although it has incomplete information that has not been supported by evidence. The High Scale NMS are accurately described and their service modules mentioned. Still, they are not discussed. The technical dimensions of the High Scale NMS are accurately described but lack complete information supported by evidence from the company. The non-technical dimensions are also effectively described and outlined. Effective and comprehensive description of the non-technical economic feasibility is provided, including details, such as costs. Operational feasibility is also logically presented. Still, the legal feasibility, resource feasibility and schedule feasibility are not necessarily logically presented as they have ignored relevant assumptions from the company. They are also not adequately supported by examples from the company. Overall, the feasibility study is well crafted and addresses all elements effectively. For instance, the article shows an understanding of how to create a feasibility study to assess the project’s technical and commercial viability. The methodology and design the article applies in laying out the portfolio is understandable, apposite and well-organized. Additionally, it reflects attention to details and effectively demonstrates achievement of learning outcomes, including undertaking an effective feasibility study. Impact analysis The impact analysis has a comprehensive analysis demonstrating that the modules operation of TamTco Solutions will change completely with the implementation of NMS, and that the administrators will get to learn to do things in an organized way, in order to benefit from the issues discussed in the table. The article provides a comprehensible outline of the impact analysis, which is demonstrated in a tabular format. The impact of gaining customers is depicted as high once the successful implementation of NMS occurs to acquire more customers. While the impact is justified, the article fails to propose a possible timeline. At any rate, the article articulates significant and logical implications and consequences that are supported by evidence from TamCo. The presentation of the examples, viewpoints, and assumptions are comprehensive and provide sufficient information regarding the high impact of gaining customers. The article also explains how the high impact will be monitored and evaluated. For instance, it is mentioned that by sufficient tracking of the potential customer’ needs, the company will manage to increase its portfolio, as well as increase their database (Tamsoft 2014). Retaining customers, organizing knowledge centre, and resource allocation are also indicated to have high impact. For instance, to support this assumptions, a coherent description of how the project module will help TamTco retail customers is described, based on a number of strategies, to realise high quality product at an agreeable cost and within a stipulated deadline. There is clear description of the processes, as well as the accurate and complete information, supported by evidence from TamCo. Additionally, there is complete and effective presentation of several relevant assumptions and viewpoints. Clear articulation of several implications and consequences are also provided and supported by evidence from the company. Overall, there is accurate and complete information supported by pertinent evidence. The content has fair and complete presentation of some relevant assumptions and viewpoints. The content articulates relevant and logical impacts. The consequences are also adequately reflected using relevant evidence. The presentation of the impacts has focus and offers evidence supporting conclusions. Generally, the content is accurate although incomplete. Regarding objectivity, the impact analysis lacks any evidence of bias. In fact, the objectivity is reinforced by the fact that the article was an outcome of rigorous impact analysis to assess the project’s technical and commercial viability. The scope and context of the article is clearly delineated. However, it is not supported by research literature. The author demonstrates knowledge of major issues relating to proficiency in developing ideas concerning impact analysis. Generally, the impact analysis is effectively crafted and addresses all elements sufficiently. The methodology and design of the impact analysis is also comprehensible, apposite and well-organized. In addition, it reflects attention to details and efficiently illustrated achievement of learning outcomes. The conclusion of the impact analysis also clearly articulates the recommendation made from impact analysis. For instance, the author states that the most important thing is to implement all the activities discussed and to convince the employees of the value proposition. Quality control plan The article adequately describes quality control plan within the context of TamTco’s quality strategy, where it is stated that the quality of work of TamTco is the liability of each individual performing the assignment, which they are assigned to do. Ways in which quality excellence can be attained are also described logically. A mention of what the quality controlling activities, such as planning, control, evaluation and improvement will achieve are also coherently discussed (Tamsoft 2014). The article demonstrates an understanding of the key position at TamTco. This is suggested by the article’s underlying assumption that quality-related tasks at TamTco support the implementation of the quality control planning and implementation of quality control (QC) processes. To support the assumption, relevant examples are provided from the company. An organisational structure is also provided with supporting illustration of their job description. A clear explanation of how quality control planning ensures quality planning, control, assessment and specification is provided. The article also presents examples to demonstrate how this happens in the company. For instance, the article shows that quality specification assists in identifying quality targets, requirements, and product portions and that the TamTco toolset links with the association of every requirement. The article also shows clear understanding of the quality planning to include processes involved in making decisions on the suitable development procedure and developing aims and values for inner attributes. The quality control measures are also effectively described, in addition to quality evaluation and improvement. There is generally accurate and logical information supported by pertinent evidence from TanCo. The content of the quality control plan has accurate and complete presentation of some applicable assumptions and viewpoints. This demonstrated effective understanding of how to develop and implement a quality control plan. The content articulates relevant and logical issues concerning how to undertake quality control and standardization processes. The consequences are also adequately reflected using relevant evidence. The presentation of the quality control is accurate and well outlined, so that each of the activities, such as planning, control, evaluation and improvement are discussed based on what they will achieve. There is also sufficient explanation of examples from TamCo to justify the application of the quality control plan. Generally, the content of the quality control plan is accurate although incomplete. Generally, the quality control plan is well crafted and seeks to address all relevant activities of quality control plan. The methodology and design of the quality control plan are also logical, relevant and well ordered. It also reflects attention to details and competently shows achievement of learning outcomes.
