Feasibility Study: (20%) A feasibilitystudy before embarking on the project. You will need to outline howa feasibility study could be carried out and will also need toprovide a sample Return on Investment (ROI) Calculation and asample Net Present Value (NPV) or Internal Rate of Return (IRR) aspart of the study. You should explain what these valuesrepresent and what they are used for. You will also need tomake some assumptions on how the project could make profits andvalue those profits, for example by saving headcount costs orthrough increased sales revenues.
Project Plan Sections : (80%) Using yourwebsite as the context for the plan, you are asked to submitsections of a project plan which will detail the following:
