...4T12 Project FEASIBILITY STUDY GUIDELINE This guideline is to be used in preparing a feasibility study for major projects. This is different to the work carried out in the Infrastructure Planning examined in Module 2 because we are now concerned with the details of a particular project as opposed to the overall planning of a whole multi-year infrastructure programme. The term “feasibility study” is used as a convenient description for the output for the work done, users of this toolkit should not apply preconceived notions of what a feasibility study consists of. Stated as simply as possible, the work done here must show that the project: ➢ is in accordance with predetermined needs; ➢ is the most suitable technical solution to the needs; ➢ can be implemented within any capacity constraints of the Institution which operates; ➢ has been subject to a due diligence that shows it is legally, physically and socially compliant; ➢ is fully costed over the whole life of the project; ➢ has taken due cognisance of the risks associated with its whole life cycle; and ➢ is affordable to the institution responsible for the project in the context of the available budget; The feasibility study guideline set out below is for a comprehensive document that, in many instances simply uses information already collected and set out as part of the steps carried out by the Institution. That said it is necessary to create a study that creates a holistic justification...

...The life span of a municipal project is 12 Month, in that case is the responsibility of the project manager in the municipality to make sure that for them to get cost effective time management they must apply project time management. A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure timely completion of the project. It consists of activity definition, activity sequencing, activity duration estimating, schedule development and schedule control Project time management with PMBOK consists of six main processes. The first of these processes is in the definition of activities and action items. Project managers must identify the tasks to be undertaken during the project life cycle. Without the definition of activities and action items, there is nothing to schedule. Methods used to define activities during this process include decomposition and utilization of templates. Decomposition is a breakdown of milestones into action items. The templates may come from previous activities or previous projects. The second process in time management is the sequencing of activities. This process involves the mapping of task dependencies. To do this, project managers will require preceding documents. Tools for this activity include the precedence diagramming method, the arrow diagramming method and other methods for diagramming dependencies. The output for this process is the network diagram. PROJECT COST MANAGEMENT The municipality must have a value for money to make...
