1. Necessary technologies
The project requires identifying and selecting the technologies that will enable its development:
Main tools: the equipment, software, or systems that are essential will be evaluated.
Compatibility: An analysis will be conducted to determine whether the new technologies are compatible with those already in use within the organization.
Availability: An assessment will be made to determine whether the technology can be purchased locally or whether it needs to be imported, which could affect timelines and costs.
Updates and support: The availability of suppliers offering maintenance, spare parts, and training will be taken into account.
2. Human resources
The success of the project depends largely on the skills of the work team:
Staff experience: an assessment will be made of whether team members have the necessary training and experience.
Required training: if the team does not have a good command of certain tools, a training plan should be put in place.
Possible external hiring: if the organization does not have specialists in key areas, it will be necessary to hire external consultants or technicians.
3. Infrastructure and material resources
An analysis will be conducted to determine whether the organization has the physical resources to implement the project:
Facilities and physical spaces: conditions of the environments where the project will be carried out (workshops, laboratories, technical rooms, work areas).
Existing equipment: review of machinery, tools, or software already available to the organization.
Additional resources: identification of materials that will need to be purchased to complete the project.
Availability of supplies: continuity of supply to avoid delays.
4. Technical limitations
No matter how well planned, every project inevitably faces a series of technical limitations that must be identified and analyzed in advance. One of the most common limitations is related to existing infrastructure, as in many cases physical spaces or facilities are insufficient or require modifications to adapt to new needs. This can lead to delays or cost overruns that affect the planned development.
5. Technical risk analysis
Technical risk analysis is an essential part of the feasibility study, as it allows potential failures or situations that could negatively affect the development of the project to be anticipated. These risks may arise from various factors, such as the complexity of the technologies used, staff training, infrastructure conditions, or even dependence on external suppliers.
One of the most common risks is the failure of the equipment or systems being implemented. An unexpected breakdown, lack of spare parts, or absence of adequate technical service can interrupt the continuity of activities, causing delays and increased costs. Added to this is the risk of technological obsolescence, as the rapid evolution of certain devices and programs can cause the project to become outdated before reaching its maximum performance.
