• Designing the program • Coding the program • Testing the system • Maintaining the system Feasibility Feasibility study is one of the first stages of the life cycle. This stage is first because this will help the programmer/analysts determine whether the software that is going to be developed will be cost effective to make and determine whether or not it will be possible to create. There are many features of feasibility study that have to be accounted for. These are; • Technical features – Do the staff of the organisation have the knowledge to design and create the software if they don’t then will there be anyone to hire to do the job. • Operational features – Does the software meet all the user requirements?
