Feasibility
• Available technical resources
– Currently have systems that ar neither
networked nor meet minimum requirements for
requested Operating system
– Have office cabling installed
– Ordered internet for set up after network has
been implemented
• Economic
Feasibility
– Time and financial ability to undertake and
commit to this project

Risks can be minimized by:
• Testing and retesting of systems prior to delivery
at customer site for install
• Testing of network connections in part and then as
whole
• Maintaining checklists and ensuring that all steps
are taken to complete network
• Monitor network on a daily basis for the first
month and every two weeks for 6 months
following.
