To complete this you need to explore a range of areas that will help you build a picture about how easy it will be to build a project around the contexts you have outlined. Some will be easier than others and need to consider the items below. The ones highlighted in green are associated with restrictions of completing an a level at NCB, whereas the non-highlighted ones are closely related to the potential of your contexts.

Presenting your feasibility study:
For this you need to know what each of the project ideas are. by the time you have completed this section you will have decided which of the contexts is the most feasible and will form the focus of your project.
For each of the contexts you should:
-
explain what the scenario/ context is
-
create an outline of the initial research/ explorations you have done and what they have suggested (in terms of giving you information about the project feasibility). What did you find out which makes it either a good or not-so good project to explore (too many restrictions)
-
create a swot analysis (see next page)
Additional things to discuss/ answer:
How easy has communication with your user/ wider stakeholders been? Will it be easy to continue with?
How involved with the context have you been able to get?
How easy has it been to record any findings you have made?
How easy has it been to evidence your context (primary photos/ videos)
What key resources have you been able to explore - how easy were they to explore?
How likely is it that this would be approached/ explored in industry?
Is there a realistic potential market for your project/ solution?
How well does this project allow you to demonstrate the skills you have and meet the assessment criteria?
