• A. Planning
• B. Implementation
• C. Testing
• D. Maintenance

Hint:

Think of the feasibility study as the go/no-go decision point at the very beginning of a project, which places it firmly within the initial Planning phase of the SDLC.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) begins with an initial phase that involves understanding the problem and determining if a project is viable.
This initial phase is commonly called the Planning or Requirement Analysis phase.
A feasibility study is a key activity conducted during this phase.
Its purpose is to assess the project's viability from different perspectives:
Technical Feasibility: Can the system be built with existing technology? Economic Feasibility: Will the benefits of the system outweigh the costs? Operational Feasibility: Will the new system work in the current organizational environment?
Based on the results of the feasibility study, a decision is made whether to proceed with the project. Therefore, it is conducted in the Planning phase.
