5.2 Analyse Candidate Solutions

5.3 Compare Candidate Solutions

5.4 Update the Project Plan

5.5 Recommend a system solution

Methodologies:

  • Candidate Systems Matrix
  • TELCOS feasibility

Feasibility Checkpoint: GO or NO-GO?

Participants:

  • System Users
  • System Designers (System Builders)
  • System Analysts
